As I started walking
along the path of obedience
My heart stirred within me
As I turned to look
I saw a man
come walking towards me
His face shone
with a beautiful radiance
love and peace filled His eyes
He started to walk beside me
such joy I felt
I knew who He was
We began to talk
Of the path we were walking
Like a guide He showed me the way
As He spoke to me
My spirit longed to know Him more
This hunger filled my being
As I walked
This past so diligently
He encouraged me
He told me of heavenly riches
Which never fade away,
Eternity to be spent with Him
One day I asked Him
“Lord why are there so few people
along this road of obedience?”
He answered with a sad look in His eye
“Because they do not wish to give their
lives completely to me.”
And he turned around and said
“My children, how I wish you
would come and follow me!”
We continue to walk down the path
Here and there a person called out to me,
“Why are you walking that path?”
I smiled and replied
“To do the will of my Lord and Savior
who has called me to follow Him!”
Sometimes the person
Would turn around
And start on the path of obedience
Yet some said
“That is to extreme, to hard to do.”
With that they turned away
Wiping away a tear or two
I sigh and said
“Oh why won’t they follow the Lord?”
Looking ahead I see a mountain
My pace slows and I feel weak
But the Lord takes my hand and we walked on
As I begin to climb the mountain
I feel sad and weary
I cry out to the Lord for help
He helps me up and gives me strength
He starts telling me
“Don’t give up, I am here!”
When I reach the top
I look towards the way I came
Amazed I thank the Lord and praise Him
I turn towards home
I smile and say
“Forever I will follow you Lord, forever!”
