Come, Follow Jesus

Liam Ó Comáin

Come, Follow Jesus!
For he was there at our beginning
And he will be there at our ending.

Why be so foolish to be led by that
Which is so false? Thus strip away
Your ego- destroy all selfishness.

Thus, follow Jesus and keep your
Vision there for he is our Saviour
And our loving friend.

He is also our brother for Mary-his
Mother- is also our mother
As ordained by our eternal Father
The one and only God expressed
As The Blessed Trinity.
