Follow Hard

Follow hard after Jesus

You humble man of God

Stand without blame

Clean with no shame

Take up your own staff and rod.

Follow hard after Jesus

And don garments of praise

God has a plan 

He calls you God’s man

Your job is heaven to raise.

No turning back, no turning back

For Jesus provides all you lack

Overcome if you dare

By the blood  you can bear

More than anything  this world can hack.

Follow hard after Jesus

And His righteous image pursue

Be done with sin

The victory win

For His power’s invested in you.

Stop drop and roll

When the fire takes your soul

And give Christ control  as you live

For in living there’s dying

Self and flesh crucifying

Your all on the altar to give

So go without knowing 

That is my advice

Let this be your boast

You love your God most

And find God gives  grace beyond price.
