Followers of Christ

the cleanest definition
what church should mean to us
the followers of Jesus
doing our master’s work

going as he commanded
baptizing the people
changing their lives in believing
making them into disciples

by our witness
our action in the world
going from sheep to shepherds
heeding his loving word

to the ends of the earth
as long as this age lasts
while we have breath sharing
the love of God for all

following Jesus
the Son of God
walking with him
all the days of our lives
