WALK ON
|
And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring... Is all that you can't leave behind |
Jesus: “Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts—no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep.” Matthew 10:9-10 NIV
Jesus: "If you want to give it all you've got... go sell your possessions; give everything to the poor. All your wealth will then be in heaven. Then come follow me." Matthew: 19:21 MSG That was the last thing the young man expected to hear. And so, crestfallen, he walked away. He was holding on tight to a lot things, and he couldn't bear to let go. Matthew 19:22 MSG |

Walk on, walk on
What you go they can't steal it No they can't even feel it... What you've got they can't deny it Can't sell it or buy it |
Jesus: "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You're not in the driver's seat; I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I'll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?" Matthew 16:24-26 MSG

Jesus: "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:19-21 KJV
Jesus: "Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father's house into a market!" John 2:16 NIV Love can't be bought, love can't be soldーit's not to be found in the marketplace. Song of Solomon 8:6-8 MSG |

You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
|
Jesus: "I am going away, and you will look for me... Where I go, you cannot come." John 8:21 NIV
|
|
A place that has to be believed to be seen
|
Jesus: "So, you believe because you've seen with your own eyes. Even better blessings are in store for those who believe without seeing." John 20:29 MSG
|
|
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage Who will only fly, only fly for freedom |
Jesus: "Put your sword back where it belongs. All who use swords are destroyed by swords. Don't you realize that I am able right now to call to my Father, and twelve companiesーmore, if I want themーof fighting angels would be here, battle-ready?" Matthew 26:52-54 MSG

I know it aches
How your heart it breaks And you can only take so much Walk on, walk on Leave it behind You've got to leave it behind |
Jesus: "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death." Matthew 26:38 NKJV
[Jesus] plunged into an agonizing sorrow. Then he said: "This sorrow is crushing my life out. Stay here and keep vigil with me." Matthew 26:36-38 MSG Jesus: "Now comes my hour of heart-break, and what can I say, 'Father, save me from this hour?' No, it was for this very purpose that I came to this hour." John 12:27-28 PHILLIPS The high priests, along with the religion scholars and leaders, were... having a great time poking fun at him: "He saved othersーhe can't save himself! King of Israel, is he? Then let him get down from that cross. We'll all become believers then! He was so sure of Godーwell, let him rescue his 'Son' nowーif he wants him! He did claim to be God's Son, didn't he?" Matthew 27:38-44 MSG |
