Follow

1. I wanna come close,
But I’m feeling so far.
There’s a pounding in my chest,
And it’s breaking my heart.
I’m not a stranger to grief.
Is this who I’ll always be?
The same path.
The one I’ve been taught,
Is it really the path
That you once walked?
That teachers teach,
And preachers preach?

[Chorus]
“Come, follow me,”
That’s what you said,
Then let me in
Your footsteps tread.
Lord, may I learn to love thee,
Walk the path that thou has shown.
Lord, help me and lift me,
Give me strength beyond my own.
Lord, I would follow thee.

2. From a burning bush•
To the parting of seas,
Turning to look,
Awakening,
Holy ground,
Bare feet.

[Chorus]
“Come, follow me,”
That’s what you said,
Then let me in
Your footsteps tread.
Lord, may I learn to love thee,
Walk the path that thou has shown.
Lord, help me and lift me,
Give me strength beyond my own.
Lord, I would follow thee.

When I wander,
You will keep me,
I will follow.
I will follow.
In this sorrow no one can see,
I will follow.
I will follow.
You have a gentle heart,
I will follow.
I will follow.
You know the healer’s art,
I will follow.
I will follow.
When I’m wounded,•
I will follow.
When I’m weary,
I will follow.
Where you lead me,
I will follow.
All you ask is:
Follow.•
When I’m wounded,•
I will follow.
When I’m weary,
I will follow.
Where you lead me,
I will follow.
All you ask is:

[Chorus]
When I’m wounded,•
I will follow.
When I’m weary,
I will follow.
Where you lead me,
I will follow.
All you ask is:
Follow.•
When I wander,•
You will keep me,
I will follow.•
When I’m weary,
I will follow.
You have a gentle heart,
I will follow.
All you ask is:
Follow me.

[Chorus]

Lord, I would follow—

Lord, I would follow thee.
