373. New Hymn
Last April I posted a recommendation for the book, “Just Jesus” by Walter Wink. Not long after I finished that book I wrote the following hymn, but I’m just getting around five months later to post it. Anyway, I’m back now. Here’s the hymn:
—
Follow This Jesus
(Dedicated to Walter Wink and his book, Just Jesus)
—
I would follow this Jesus who all through his days
Walked the road of compassion and non-violent ways.
He spoke of resistance when things were not just,
And he lived an example in which we can trust.
—
I would follow this Jesus who knew how to live,
Saving time for himself, finding time he could give
To others around him, both strangers and friend,
Showing how God is present without and within.
—
Yes, with Jesus before me and through all my years
He has given his model to conquer my fears.
I’ll live life authentic as he did each day,
I will follow this Jesus and know of the Way.

(Tune: How Firm a Foundation)
