WILL I WALK THE LINE?

As I'm on my morning walk with Jesus
He tells me to look down at the street
He asks me,
"WHAT DO YOU SEE?"
I reply, "a yellow line"

He continues,
"I WANT YOU TO WALK THE LINE
I WILL GO BEFORE YOU
YOU ARE NOT TO LOOK
TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT
OTHERS HAVE THEIR CALLINGS
BUT I HAVE CALLED YOU TO WALK
THE SOLITARY ROAD
WITH ME, ALONE"

"Jesus, I'm lonely!"

He replies,
"THERE WILL COME A TIME
WHEN YOU WILL REJOICE
THAT IT'S JUST THE TWO OF US
YOU WILL RELISH THE INTIMACY
OF OUR FRIENDSHIP
AS I DO
YOU WILL FEEL MY EMBRACE
AND IT WILL BE MORE THAN ENOUGH
TO SATISFY YOUR DEEPEST NEEDS
FOR COMPANIONSHIP!"

I watch and I see others
responding to GOD'S call
and they're in groups
They offer each other support and friendship
They speak words of praise and acceptance
They hug and smile
Their touches confirm their bonds of friendship
"Why am I different?"
"Why can't I join the group?"
"Where's my place?"
"It's to walk the Line with You, isn't it?"
"I WILL WALK THE LINE WITH YOU, JESUS!"

He speaks softly, but firmly,
"TO WALK THE LINE
IS TO ABANDON ALL FOR THE CALL!

TO WALK THE LINE
IS TO HOLD MY HAND
IN THE DARKNESS
IN THE SOLITUDE --- IN THE QUIETNESS
AND KNOW
REALLY KNOW
THAT I AM ALL THAT YOU NEED!

TO WALK THE LINE
IS TO SURRENDER YOUR NEED
FOR ACCEPTANCE, APPROVAL AND VALUE
FROM EVERY HUMAN BEING
AND TO LOOK TO MY FACE
FOR YOUR TOTAL FULFILLMENT!

I WALK
THE LINE WITH YOU!
I CHOSE YOU
AND NOW,
YOU HAVE CHOSEN ME ABOVE ALL ELSE!

THE JOURNEY BEGINS NOW..."

***
Jesus, You wake me and I begin to shake
already aware of Your
AWESOME PRESENCE!
Eagerly, I arise, anticipating our morning walk!
It's 4 am - I honestly believe You never rest!
It doesn't matter...
I LOVE YOUR PRESENCE!
You are MORE than enough for me!
I will keep my eyes on Your Face!

YES, A THOUSAND TIMES, YES!!!
I WILL WALK THE LINE WITH YOU, JESUS!!!!!!!
