Called

He called me to follow him.
I dropped my nets,
And I called him teacher. 

 

He asked me what others called him.
Some gave him the name Elijah.
I called him Messiah.

 

I called him out
When he talked about dying.
He called me Satan.

 

I called him rabbi
When we were on the mountain.
God called him Son.

 

He called us to pray with him,
But I fell asleep,
And he called me to wake up.

 

He called me among those who would deny him.
I turned away
When someone called his name.

 

He called out to God
Before he breathed his last.
Then he called no more until

 

He called to us from the shore
Three days later.
John called him Lord.

 

He called me
Three more times.
He called me to follow him…again.
