A Disciple

I am a disciple of Jesus Christ

A follower of the Lamb;

I yield my all to Him each day

Who is the great ‘I Am."

I have no rights for which to claim

No "chips" are on my shoulder;

For those are not my problems now

Once weighted like a boulder.

My face is set; my goal is sure

The way is rough and narrow;

I won’t give up till Jesus comes

But that may be tomorrow.

I won’t look back, I won’t let up

I no longer need position;

I cannot be bought or compromised

My only need, submission.

I need no popularity

No praise along the way;

I walk by faith from day to day

It’s called "the narrow way."

My future is secure in Him

My past has been redeemed;

I’m called a disciple of Jesus Christ

I seek not world esteem.
