A Song of Motive

One day Jesus walked by,

He called me by name.

This Teacher so wise

Might lead me to fame.

So I followed His lead

And walked with His band.

I learned all His ways,

But still served my own ends.

He called not the wise,

For their glory to shine.

He called those with wealth,

To let poverty refine.

For those who would rise

To seek earthly gain,

He promised His followers,

This world would bring pain.

The longer I followed,

The more His Word rent

My heart from my own ends,

To serve only His.

For it’s only in dying

That leads to His throne.

Humility marks them,

Whom Jesus calls his own.

Have a wonderful weekend serving Jesus!
