“Follow me to the place where dreams come true
Follow me and we can see this through
Follow me until the end on this you can depend
Follow me and I will follow you
Follow me down the long and lonely road
When I'm lost and the night is black as coal
Follow me until the end on this you can depend
Follow me and I will follow you
And I'm depending on you
And I'll be looking out for you
Be it near or be it far
By a river or under a star
Follow me and I will follow you”

What a great line this is,
“By a river or under a star
Follow me and I will follow you”
We are at the point in our Lenten journey, experiencing The Blessing of Being Plugged-In that we stop just a moment to think about where we are and where we are going.”
“By a river or under a star
Follow me and I will follow you”
We are involved in the holiest dance of our lives. It’s a “chain of love.” It’s about “strirrin’ up the water.” It’s about being “still in one peace.”
“By a river or under a star
Follow me and I will follow you”
Jesus said, in Matthew 4:19
"Follow me, and I will make you fish for people."
He also said, in John 8:32
”and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
We are free to follow. That’s not something that our society and culture readily acknowledges or affirms. And yet, that’s the call we hear as we pass through the days and nights,
“By a river or under a star
Follow me and I will follow you”
“Freedom” has a key for a necklace. She has a license plate for wings. Her body is a spike. Sometimes there is the call to stay in place. At other times the key is to follow the call to go “on the road.”
As Peter sings,
“By a river or under a star
Follow me and I will follow you”
