Follow Me
follow Me
to the ends of the earth
over the ends
to the country beyond
a land of pure innocence
sparkling
with the glint
of sunlight on waves.
I stare o'er the waters
and pray
I will follow You, Lord
follow Me
to the rim of the sea
to the dog-eared edges
of the old sailor's map
to the pure bright sunset,
the horizon itself
brought into focus
a bright gorgeous vortex
pulling me in
to a passionate embrace
kiss me again
follow Me
to the world beyond this
to fantasy's edge
where all that was wise
crumbles like bread
washed away
disappearing in sea
and everything foolish
like dreams and young love
are shown to be wise
in the eyes of Christ
follow Me
to eternity's edge
I stand on the cliff
admiring the great gem
the golden orb
gracing the neck
of the vast horizon
the wink of the sunset
tells me I'm invited
to step into the sky
follow Me
the Voice speaks:
I will show you your fantasy
dreams were your sanity.
let it wash over me
I'm just a pebble
washed under every
sweet dream of reality
sparkling insanity
past the world's wisdom
beyond every concept
of beauty
or brilliance.
grace
grants me the gift
of joy
follow Me
I will follow You Lord
to the dog-eared edges of the earth
to the country I love
but never have been
I will follow You through horror
unloveliness
hurts
every color of pain
will taint me
till every color of joy
graces
the world around me
and my tears sparkle like jewels
tears
for the joy
of being home
to the ends of the earth
over the ends
to the country beyond
a land of pure innocence
sparkling
with the glint
of sunlight on waves.
