Passage: 18 “Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.” 19 (This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, “Follow me.”20 Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who also had leaned back against him during the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?” 21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” 22 Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!”(John Song:Follow by Beau Maddox, Bede Benjamin-Korporaal, Chris Davenport, and Melodie MaloneLyrics: I give my life to follow JesusCaptive to Christ I know true freedomI count it all joy to take up my crossI’ll followThese earthly wells have left me thirstyAll worldly wisdom comes up emptyOnly Your word and only Your waysI’ll followWhat a joy it is to follow JesusWhat a gift it is to bear His nameWhat an honor to choose surrenderAnd make Him my everythingWhen the darkness brings its questionsWhen trusting You becomes a wrestleI have resolved no matter the costI’ll followYes to surrenderYes to the altarYes to Your plans for meYes to correctionYes to confessionYes to refining meYes to Your blessingYes to anointingYour Spirit alive in meYes to salvationAnd resurrectionYes to eternityWhat a joy it is to follow JesusWhat a gift it is to bear His nameWhat an honor to choose surrenderAnd make You my everythingAnd make You my everythingLord You are my everythingPrayer:This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.-The Book of Common Prayer
