I need to follow Christ
As my shadow follows me
Attached at every moment
No chance for me to flee
Abiding in His light
For all the world to see
I need to follow Christ
As my shadow follows me

I need to follow Christ
With every breath I breathe
Unable to survive
With out His love in me
Abiding in His word
In memory and deed
I need to follow Christ
With every breath I breathe

I need to follow Christ
With each beat of my heart
No other thing above Him
Not wanting to depart
Abiding in His mercy
Grace I must impart
I need to follow Christ
With each beat of my heart

I need to follow Christ
With my eyes open wide
Knowing when my enemy
Would pry me from His side
Abiding in His wisdom
Under His wing I hide
I need to follow Christ
With my eyes open wide

I need to follow Christ
Taking care to hear His voice
When He speaks to my spirit
My heart runs to rejoice
Abiding in His Spirit
That helps me make the choice
I need to follow Christ
Taking care to hear his voice
