so that we may walk in the footsteps of Jesus – v8

we must slow out uncertain steps
our stumbling in the world
putting ourselves, our minds
back in that place and time
by the Sea of Galilee
in Bethany, in Jerusalem

hearing, as the first disciples,
when Jesus said come, follow,
follow me, I will make you fishers of men
leaving our nets, our lives
there at the shoreline, in the towns,
leaving our lives behind

seeing Jesus cure the sick
when Christ drove out the demons
watching the miracles
even as the Master fed the five thousand
on the hillside, this miracle
the food more than enough

seeking to walk with them
with the disciples, the saints before us
to walk in the footsteps of Jesus
His life, His ministry for us to continue
for we are Christ’s chosen people
His hands and feet in this time
