FOLLOW ME
Many were rejected and cast out;
Sinners may protest and shout.
But their protests would not be entertained;
All their efforts to change are disdained!
The Lord Jesus knew the plight of tax collectors;
They were grouped with those considered “sinners.”
Nobody gave them a chance to change at all;
The Lord Jesus graciously extended a divine Call!
Matthew was a well-known tax collector;
He was associated with other sinners.
His heart throbbed with joy when he was called;
Immediately, he decided to yield his all!
“Follow Me,” the Lord Jesus kindly invited;
This was what Matthew secretly desired.
His life was slowly but surely transformed by the Lord;
He became an outstanding servant of a gracious God!
