Jesus, his call was clear and strong;
The challenge was to sing his song;
He preached good news; he countered wrong;
Some came; they wanted to belong.
Jesus had come to Galilee;
He called to Philip, “Come with me”;
This was, for him, new territory
But he had found his destiny.
Written about in prophesy
“This one from Nazareth is he”;
Nathanael said, “This cannot be.”
But Phillip urged him,“Come and see.”
We hear the call as real today;
To come to Jesus as ‘The way’;
In him we find - it’s on display -
Our new potential for each day.
We hear from Jesus long ago
Inviting us to come and grow;
To seek our best, and then to go
To where our love can overflow.
