The naked man calls,

the naked man

calls for us

to be naked too.
 
 

Follow me, says He

all the way up

the cursed tree.
 
 

Take no pillow, no purse

water only for your thirst.
 
 

Say no byes, bury no dead

keep your eyes fixed ahead.
 
 

And proclaim the kingdom as you go

as if heaven ahead is all you know.
 
 

The naked man sends,

the naked man

sends us out

lambs among wolves.
 
 

They hated me, says He

they too will tear

your flesh free.
 
 

They'll gamble for your clothes

and batter bloody your nose.
 
 

They'll mock, spit and flog

and kick you like a dog.
 
 

But forgive them nonetheless

even as they hoist high your nakedness.
 
 

The naked man waits,

the naked man

waits for us

arms open wide.
 
 

Now go make disciples, says He

In my Name

You have been set free.
