Song # 1943 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. We read in Matthew chapter 8 that Jesus tells people that He has nowhere to lay His head as do foxes and birds of the air.
When Jesus saw the crowd around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake (Matthew 8:18). Then a teacher of the law came to Him and said “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go” (Matthew 8:19). Jesus replied “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head” (Matthew 8:20). Another disciple said to Jesus “Lord, first let me go and bury my father” (Matthew 8:21). But Jesus told him “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead” (Matthew 8:22).
Thought for today: Jesus asks us to join Him for life.
Thought for the future: now is the time to invest in heaven. Where will you spend your eternity?
