Scripture:
Matthew 4:18-20
18 As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. 19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.” 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him.
Matthew 8:9
9 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him.
Matthew 8:19-21
19 A scribe then approached and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” 20 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” 21 Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” 22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
Matthew 16:24-25
24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life? Or what will they give in return for their life?
Lyrics:
“My Soul Sings”
I feel Your goodness on the mountain
And I saw Your love down in the valley
And Your grace still surround me
God You’ve been good to me
God You’ve been good to me
And my souls sings
My souls sings
With all my heart I love You Lord
You’re my first love You’re my reward
And through the years You’ve been good to me
So good to me, so good to me
I have breath inside my body
And I have lived inside my bones
And I cannot help but Praise you
God You’ve been good to me
God You’ve been good to me
And my souls sings
My souls sings
With all my heart I love You Lord
You’re my first love You’re my reward
And through the years You’ve been good to me
So good to me, so good to me
I’m dancing on the rising sun
To the hopeful future and the dreams to come
And though seasons change, no I won’t give up
Oh You’ve never fail me, no not once
I’m dancing on the rising sun
To the hopeful future and the dreams to come
And though seasons change, no I won’t give up
Oh You’ve never fail me, no not once
And my souls sings
My souls sings
With all my heart I love You Lord
You’re my first love You’re my reward
And through the years You’ve been good to me
So good to me, so good to me
So good to me, so good to me
I've got this joy and it won't let go
Looked in its eyes and and it freed my soul
I've got this joy and it won't let go
My soul knows it
