Welcome to ....
The Poetry of Grace E. Easley

Follow Me

Take up your cross and follow Me,
Wherever I may lead,
Your back will ache, your feet grow tired,
And yes, your heart will bleed.

But we shall walk together,
And I will share your lot,
For I am always with you,
And will forget you not.

Take up your cross and follow Me,
And I will fill your days
With joy that only I can give,
In many precious ways.

So learn to know me better,
For there are miles to go,
And rest your head upon My heart,
...For I have loved you so.

The light grows dim, the dusk descends,
The sunlight turns to shade,
I give my angels charge of you,
So do not be afraid.

But trust in Me and do not grieve,
For what has come and gone,
I will provide for all your needs,
...Because you are My own.

My yoke is sweet, My burden light,
No matter where you roam,
Remember earth will pass away,
But heaven is your home.

How very brief a time man walks
Upon this earthly sod,
So love Me as I first loved you,
...And know that I am God.
