Wandering toward the Kingdom

“There are two questions a man must ask himself: The first is 'Where am I going?' and the second is 'Who will go with me?' If you ever get these questions in the wrong order you are in trouble.”

------------------------------------

Follow me Jesus said

walking through the deep dust of Galilee

we are headed to Jerusalem

we are wandering toward the kingdom

Who will go with me?

Who will go with me?

today’s leaders cry

give me you loyalty

and will take you far

how far?

Very far

So far. So fast. So easy!

Where?

It will be great

Ok they cry!

and follow down a path

littered with those wounded and left behind

where are we headed?

Just follow me

Questions are not allowed

And so

addicted to the journey

they march

leaving death in their wake

but they are addicted to what they seek

and so

the do not see

they do not care

and so

they march
