So we are to Christ

So we are to Christ
our High Priest
our mentor
the source of our life

Like Samuel to Eli
sitting at his feet
our example, our model
the light which we keep

Listen to his lessons
the wisdom of the ages
the love of heaven
poured down on us

Study with Jesus
our high priest, our savior
the light of God
given unto us

Sit with Jesus
as Samuel did
at the feet of his master
being taught

Sit with Jesus
our High Priest, our master
to be taught
to share God’s blessing

Shine in reflection
the glow of the master
our shepherd, our master
Christ’s light to guide us

Walk beside Jesus
as did the first disciples
learning from his teachings
all that he gives us

Grow in your faith
ever closer to Jesus
to the delight of God
our Savior, our Creator

Grow in your faith
ever closer to Jesus
walk in his light
follow his example

Follow his ways
the lessons of witness
his life our example
how we should live

What we study
what we discern
follow Jesus
in all that we do
