zae da blacksmith - follow the master lyrics
[verse 1]
biblical discipleship, let me set a spark to this discussion of it
dip into the word of god and draw some wisdom coming from it
solidify what’s coming from the lord and not what’s brought across
the broad spectrum of a world that’s destined for a plummet
it’s only right that when i speak i be complete
so let us step on common ground on this subject and peep the greek
the word disciple can be translated as student
and more specifically in jesus’ day as something that the jews did
it was practiced by rabbinic teachers, scholars, and the scribes
and mostly used to keep interpretation views alive
it was a viable method, reliable for the passing of lessons
the type of process that leaves a lasting impression
intensive in the sense of the apprentice’s commitment
hence it’s something that was entered with intent to be relentless
so a disciple was a student of his teacher
and discipleship the term used referring to that season
[verse 2]
so now you got the background, we can step directly to the scene
recollect it from the text and check the blessed nazarene
he’s the supreme example of redemption in a culture
even with the practice of discipleship he seen amongst him
he viewed the jewish teachers in the culture of his time
took some dudes that he would choose to get them coached in the divine
used a missionary tactic, took their practice then he leveraged it
in ministry today you’d say he’s culturally relevant
but while disciples of men would be dropping gems
a disciple of christ would drop his whole life just to follow him
while other teachers would seek to preserve tradition
jesus would bleed and put in his work for the great commission
but don’t get it twisted, he lived with a different purpose
yet he took what the teachers did as something that he could work with
he used discipleship as a tool to be missional
so let’s be mindful, his example is truly applicable
[verse 3]
while jesus walked the earth, he called some people to be with him and to follow him
he rounded up a squadron of them, a rowdy conglomerate
he stacked his roster and drafted a bunch of different men
amongst them was a tax collector and a couple fishermen
and though literally we can’t walk with him today
he’s still calling out for us to seek him and forsake our ways
’cause the cost of discipleship is renouncing our life to get
a righteousness from christ plus eternal life and the tightest gift
to know jesus, behold him in perfect worship
this is the hope were holding and purpose we walk the earth with
so let’s follow the master and serve as his ambassadors
perhaps we can impact masses and some will come after him
but sometimes i think that we listen but still miss it
’cause we seem to split up discipleship from evangelism
’cause the call is for christians to live our lives on a mission
as what’s captured in the words of christ in the great commission
