As Jesus attracts disciples to follow him, he shows an unsettling ability to look into their hearts.

Hymn # 6 R
“Let the Whole Creation Cry”
(Public Domain)
Let the whole creation cry, “Glory to the Lord on high!”
Heaven and earth, awake and sing, “Praise to our almighty King!”
Praise him, angel hosts above, ever bright and fair in love;
Sun and moon, lift up your voice; night and stars, in God rejoice.
Christians striving for the Lord, prophets burning with his Word,
Those to whom the arts belong add their voices to the song.
Those of knowledge and of law, to the glorious circle draw;
All who work and all who wait, sing, “The Lord is good and great!”
Men and women, young and old, raise the anthem loud and bold,
And let children’s happy hearts in this worship take their parts;
From the north to southern pole let the mighty chorus roll:
“Holy, Holy, Holy One, glory be to God alone!”

God has chosen me, God has chosen me to bring good news to the poor.
God has chosen me, God has chosen me to bring new sight to those searching for light:
God has chosen me, chosen me:
And to tell the world that God’s kingdom is near,
To remove oppression and break down fear,
Yes, God’s time is near, God’s time is near,
God’s time is near, God’s time is near.
God has chosen me, God has chosen me to set alight a new fire.
God has chosen me, God has chosen me to bring to birth a new kingdom on earth:
God has chosen me, chosen me:
And to tell the world that God’s kingdom is near,
To remove oppression and break down fear,
Yes, God’s time is near, God’s time is near,
God’s time is near, God’s time is near.
God is calling me, God is calling me in all whose cry is unheard.
God is calling me, God is calling me to raise up the voice with no power or choice:
God is calling me, calling me.
And to tell the world that God’s kingdom is near,
To remove oppression and break down fear,
Yes, God’s time is near, God’s time is near,
God’s time is near, God’s time is near.

Will you come and follow me if I but call your name?
Will you go where you don’t know and never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown, will you let my name be known,
Will you let my life be grown in you and you in me?
Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare should your life attract or scare?
Will you let me answer prayer in you and you in me?
Will you let the blinded see if I but call your name?
Will you set the prisoners free and never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean, and do such as this unseen,
And admit to what I mean in you and you in me?
Lord, your summons echoes true when you but call my name.
Let me turn and follow you and never be the same.
In your company I’ll go where your love and footsteps show.
Thus I’ll move and live and grow in you and you in me.
