Meditations on the Way: Poems of a Christian Journey

Following the Lamb

Sweet love of Jesus, I embrace you,

Let me walk in step with Him

Who has shared our every heartache,

And Who reigns in us again.

Let me sing as on I follow-

Let me dance through tears and grief;

No fear in sadness, pain or sorrow,

For the Lamb has conquered death.

Though earth may quake and stars may fall,

Though in the depths I lie,

I have the love of Jesus Christ-

I know I shall not die.

His love s a helmet and a shield-

A breastplate and a sword;

I shall not fear the darkness drear,

But light it with His word.

He bears our pains ahead of us,

He dries our every tear;

Oh, may we joy to follow Him

For He is very near!

May we rejoice that He has come,

And that He calls us still;

And may we trust Him every step,

And love to do His will.
