Lesson Learned (again)

"Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following... Peter seeing Him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? Jesus saith unto him... What is that to thee? Follow thou Me" (John 21:22).

So "what is that to you?
Our Lord was heard to say.
His words still ring so true
And relevant today!

As Peter turned his face
So distracted and concerned,
How often in our case
This lesson is relearned!

We quickly turn aside
From truth that makes us free.
Then hear our Savior chide
Again: "You follow Me!"

We turn back to our Lord,
Repenting of our strife;
Reproved and thus restored—
This is the school of life.
