When Jesus grew up to be a man, He was ready to begin His important work of telling others the good news of God’s love. But He knew that He would someday return to His home in heaven, so Jesus needed to find some people who would be able to continue His work when He was gone. Jesus picked twelve men to be His helpers. People who follow Jesus are called disciples.
Chorus

Jesus is calling you to be kind and helpful too.
Jesus is calling you to be kind and helpful.

Jesus is calling, He’s calling, He’s calling.
Jesus is calling, yes, He’s calling you.
