I Will Follow You

To know Christ leads is blessedness

His care and comfort I confess

Whatever I do, wherever I am

I still am led by Jesus' hand.

When in the depths of deep despair

In triumph you lead me even there.

Here in the tempest or in paths of peace

His nail scarred hand I'll not release.

Through the valley of shadows You lead me

In the depths of my hunger You feed me

Lord, You provide for all my needs

And when I fail You intercede

When blood was required You chose to bleed

So I will follow You.

Lord, I would clasp your healing hand

then I have no need to understand

The mysteries life has reserved for me

For while you lead I need not see.

When my journey on this earth is done,

When, by your grace, the vict’ry’s won,

Then death’s embrace I will not fear

For then he 'll surely draw me near.

Through the valley of shadows You lead me

In the depths of my hunger You feed me

Lord, You provide for all my needs

And when I fail, You intercede

When blood was required You chose to bleed

So I will follow You.
Yes I will follow You,
Oh, I will follow You!
