Discipleship
Sometimes the road is a steep one
And it's hard when the sleet comes
Try giving me your words when the fire and the heat comes
When the sun that once warmed now burns
And the fields dry ground hits-the shovel won't turn
When the palm of the God I revere
Feels like its crushing and I'm drowned in my fear
I face a choice, it's my decision
Will I curse his name or will trust his wisdom?
In the heat of the battle I need more than a doctrine
To withstand the quicksand, temptation and mocking
We're not redeemed a system, a path or emotion
Disciples to a master who claims our devotion
Will I deny the one that suffered for me?
The one who took the lashes, iron nails in his feet
Who stood up from the throne
To condescend for my sake
Is there anything I own?
What sacrifice can I make?
C'mon! Follow me!
Weight the cost before you put your boots on!
C'mon! Follow me!
Weight the cost before you put your boots on!
Not every song has gotta be a parable
But at times I feel a duty
I'm standing with the quiver full
Unequivocal that times are rip
We heading towards the night
Will you walk or will you turn in flight?
For a survivor the road demands your every fiber
But there's a joy only known to the insiders
Forsaking all, we follow for the sake of the call
Drop the plow no hesitation or stall
You're a disciple?
Better hope for covering
Cause the path is rejection it's marked with suffering
Invitation only, his call is directed
Riding on a pony, a king unexpected
Many a phoney believed the hype
That by praying a prayer he somehow owed you eternal life
But the life is in the Son
And we forget when the prayer is said and done, its the Son that says come!
C'mon! Follow me!
Weight the cost before you put your boots on!
C'mon! Follow me!
Weight the cost before you put your boots on!
Don't kid yourself, this ain't for the lighthearted
It's not self help or "seven ways to get started"
Once departed its a march behind the master
Inner transformation
Not an outer coat of plaster
If its only skin deep, then why should I expect to stand when the rubber hits the concrete?
We defeat the very purpose of his mission
If we just turn it into wisdom and forget about submission
We're good at shunning things that appear to be sinful
But when it comes to going out we're not so nimble
There's grace for ones that try and might trip along the way
But for those who play it safe the master calls them a disgrace
Remember Jesus who went beyond the gates and and died on the cross sacrificed for our sakes
The call has been made, his voice is persistent
Is He the universal God or is He more of an assistant?
And it's hard when the sleet comes
Try giving me your words when the fire and the heat comes
When the sun that once warmed now burns
And the fields dry ground hits-the shovel won't turn
When the palm of the God I revere
Feels like its crushing and I'm drowned in my fear
I face a choice, it's my decision
Will I curse his name or will trust his wisdom?
In the heat of the battle I need more than a doctrine
To withstand the quicksand, temptation and mocking
We're not redeemed a system, a path or emotion

C'mon! Follow me!

C'mon! Follow me!
