Jesus Chose Me to Follow HIM!
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 2 times

Jesus Chose Me to Follow Him!

Jesus called and chose me
to follow him!
He called me to be;
"a fisher of men!"

He's given his Holy Spirit,
for needed assistance.
He wants me to reach the lost,
with a Godly persistence!

Others need to know
of the forgiveness he brings!
They need to know that he
can do anything!

They can be transformed,
by his resurrection power!
This can happen to anyone!
This very hour!

Please help me dear Lord,
to do my very best!
I want to do my part!  And let you
take care of the rest!

It's only in YOU, Jesus, that one
 can find life everlasting!
It's freely given!
Just for the asking!

Please dear Lord...
Come and direct my path.
Be merciful tome, and spare me
from your wrath!

Please gude me, by you loving
and gentle hand.
Help me to obey you, listen,
and to understand!

Following and trusting Jesus
is the best thing I can do!
To surrender my life,
and daily follow YOU!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
