Follow me (dismissal for an order of worship)

Here are some new worship materials. I suppose these would best suit the dismissal portion of an order of worship. Here I have three versions of this for different occasions: a basic version for ordinary use, a version with Psalms, and a Lenten version.



Basic:

P: Jesus calls, "I am the way."
C: "Follow me."

P: "I am the truth".
C: He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

P: "I am the light."
C: He who has eyes to see, let him see.

P: Jesus calls, "Follow me."
C: And he will make us fishers of men.



With Psalms:

P: Jesus calls, "I am the way."
C: "Follow me."

P: He leads me beside still waters.
C: He restores my soul.

P: "I am the truth".
C: He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

P. The teaching of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul.
C: The testimony of the Lord is sure, making the simple wise.

P: "I am the light."
C: He who has eyes to see, let him see.

P: Your word is a lamp unto my feet.
C: And a light for my path.



For Lent:

P: Jesus calls, "I am the way."
C: "Follow me."

P: "I am the truth".
C: He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

P: "I am the light."
C: He who has eyes to see, let him see.

P: "I am the way."
C: "Take up your cross and follow me."

P: Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.
C: For you are with me.




General note: I like something like this as the dismissal because it's too easy to see the dismissal from worship as leaving behind the things of God, and better to see it as following Christ out the door and into the world.
