I'll follow My Lord
I’ll Follow My Lord
Oh blessed Lord, I’ll follow You,
No matter what all others do;
And to Your word I will be true,
Whatever trials may ensue.
To Israel You gave Your word:
The selfsame word which Moses heard;
To think it’s changed is so absurd,
Though this is what some have inferred.
You have not changed; You’re still the same.
You died for us, despised the shame;
And for our sins You took the blame;
For this I glorify Your name.
While I was still a slave to sin,
Your love was with me even then.
You changed my heart and spirit, when
Your Holy Spirit, You placed within.
So, by Your spirit pure and true,
Help me, Your perfect will, to do.
I want to grow to be like You,
And, in Your kingdom, born anew.
