“Follow me,
and I will make you fishers of people.”
—Matthew 4.19
Follow: to accompany
Jesus, I leave behind what I cling to
to be close to you.
Follow: to go after or behind
Beloved, wherever I go
you have gone before me.
Follow: to accept, give authority or allegiance, to obey
O Love, in all I do
I follow your teaching.
Follow: to conform, to mirror, as to follow a conductor
Lamb of God, I want to imitate you,
to follow every gesture, every move.
Follow: to understand
Rabbi, I confess I don’t always follow your thinking;
help me understand.
Follow: to watch
Jesus, I am watching you like a TV series,
every episode, the whole story.
Follow: to pursue, to track
Beloved, you are on the move.
I want to stay on track, to keep up.
You are the star I follow.
