Come
by PamFord Davis "Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich (Luke 18:22-23 KJV)." Jesus extends a formal invitation. Will we gratefully accept his invitation to come, to follow him? 'Where He Leads Me' by Ernest W. Blandy, 1890 (Public Domain/Text: John 10:27/ Mark 8:34) I can hear my Savior calling, I can hear my Savior calling, I can hear my Savior calling, "Take thy cross and follow, follow Me." Refrain: Where He leads me I will follow, Where He leads me I will follow, Where He leads me I will follow, I'll go with Him, with Him all the way. I'll go with Him through the waters, I'll go with Him through the waters, I'll go with Him through the waters, I'll go with Him, with Him all the way. I'll go with Him through the garden, I'll go with Him through the garden, I'll go with Him through the garden, I'll go with Him, with Him all the way. I'll go with Him to dark Calv'ry, I'll go with Him to dark Calv'ry, I'll go with Him to dark Calv'ry, I'll go with Him, with Him all the way. I'll go with Him to the judgment, I'll go with Him to the judgment, I'll go with Him to the judgment, I'll go with Him, with Him all the way. He will give me grace and glory, He will give me grace and glory, He will give me grace and glory, And go with me, with me all the way. To those who have accepted his first invitation to come, he will extend another. "And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them (Revelation 11:12 KJV)."
