Verse 1
So compelling was the voice of Jesus calling me,
Saying: “Follow, Follow”.
So convicting was His Spirit causing me to see,
I must follow, follow.
Though it may mean loss or suff’ring, painful though it be,
Courage, strength and victory come when down on bended knee,
Walking in the steps of Jesus in the path for me.
I will follow, follow, follow.

 

Follow, I will follow Jesus anywhere He leads me.
Follow, I will follow Jesus.
Holy Spirit stay beside me every day,
Be with me come what may.
Follow, I will follow all the way.

 

Verse 2
Eagerly like small Zacchaeus leaping from the tree
Can I follow, can I follow?
And just like the willing fishermen who left their nets at sea
Can I follow, can I follow?
Or like the frightened Simon Peter not a witness be,
In the night of great temptation, Christ deny and flee.

 

Hear the voice, the voice of Jesus, Hear the voice, the voice of Jesus.
Hear the voice, the voice of Jesus, Hear the voice, the voice of Jesus.

 

Verse 3
Hear the voice of Jesus, Hear the voice of Jesus:
“If you will come after Me you must daily deny yourself and follow,
Jesus calls to me, can I take up my cross and follow?
Hear the voice of Jesus: “Come and follow me!”

 

Hear the voice of Jesus, Hear the voice of Jesus:
If you will come after me you must daily deny yourself and follow,
Jesus calls to me, can I take up my cross and follow?
Hear the voice of Jesus: “Come and follow me!”
And not like Peter, follow far off with no victory,
But pray for grace and fortitude to walk consistently;

 

Hear the voice of Jesus, Hear the voice of Jesus:
If you will come after Me you must daily deny yourself and follow,
Jesus calls to me, can I take up my cross and follow?
Hear the voice of Jesus: “Come and follow me!”

 

Verse 4
Here and now I give my life to you. Help me Lord, I pray!
I will follow, I will follow.
In your steps to walk deliberately to serve you day by day!
I will follow, I will follow.
And I will in my very weakest time trust you and obey,
Always keep my eye upon you, follow all the way, all the way.

 

CODA
Follow, I will follow Jesus anywhere He leads me,
Follow I will follow Jesus, Holy Spirit stay beside me every day,
Be with me come what may.
Follow, I will follow Jesus, I will follow Jesus!
Follow, I will follow Jesus anywhere He leads me,
Follow, I will follow Jesus,
Holy Spirit stay beside me every day,
Be with me come what may;
Follow I will follow all the way, I will follow all the way,
I will follow all the way!
