I Will Follow

Dear Lord, how I used to wander!

How often I carelessly strayed!

I rambled down Sin’s darkest highways

And took paths You had forbade

But then, oh the Light You shined Lord!

So bright and glorious and true

It lead me out of the Pit of Destruction

Through the Vale of Death it brought me through

You founded my footsteps in Righteousness

You showed me the paths I should take

You promised to walk ahead and behind

Protecting me, whether asleep or awake

Yet still I found myself stumbling

Dazzled by the Worldly Way’s charms

  That’s when You lovingly sheltered me

Carrying me, at times, in Your arms

You knew all along my weak frame, Lord

You knew, by myself I would fall

 And so You watched over me Faithfully

Hearing each pitiful call

The years have taught me to trust you

To follow Your steps that You’ve shown

And it’s when I’ve gone with those footsteps

That I have drastically grown

So here’s my pledge to devotion

To follow wherever You lead

Depending on Your given Guidance

And You supplying my every need

Though they go over mountains or hills

 Or valleys so low and so deep

I will set my eyes on Your footsteps

And Your promises, in my heart, I will keep
