I was standing on the edge
On the bank of the Jordan
My foot was ready to touch the water
And I turned around
I turned around to settle for mediocre
To do what I am best at
Instead of faith, I chose familiarity
I decided to please everyone else
But not my God
Why?
In the quiet of this morning
My soul is in torment
Since the day I ran
I have become an empty shell
I am starving
And Jesus wants nothing more
Than to give me the Bread of Life
This is what I am hearing...
"I was ready to set you free
But you chose your chains
Remember the rooster crowing...?
Drop your net and follow Me"
What Jesus is calling me to
Makes no sense to the world
Maybe even no one close
I must dig deep
Striving to be great in His Kingdom
When everyone else wants to keep me at their level
It is easy for me to be great
If I stay on the beaten path
But it takes deep faith
To step away from the familiar
To be a servant speaking the Truth
To be a slave showing the Way
To be a fool in love with his Savior
