When the Master Calls by Raymond A. Foss
When the Master calls,
will we heed his message
will be follow him
and be fishers of men?

Where ever he goes,
will we follow
where ever he leads us
through the wilderness
through places of war,
of oppression?

Who will go with him,
will we stand with him,
against injustice, against hate
against what is wrong in the world?

What will we say,
how will we answer,
when he asks us to pick up the yoke
to walk in his footsteps
to sacrifice and death,
death to self?

How will we answer,
when the water is waiting,
when he is standing out there
over deep water,
will we follow him,
up over the gunnels, out
over the water, as Peter did;
will we falter,
when the Master calls?
