Come And Follow Me
David Haas · Echo Of Faith [2002]
Come, be my light
be my voice to the nations.
Be my hands, be my heart for the world.
Would you go where I go?
Where I lead will you follow?
Would you leave ev'rything for my sake?
By the power of the Spirit, ev'ryone with ears to hear it
will embrace the call to love within their heart.
Refrain:
If anyone would come and follow me,
my disciple you would be.
Leave the past behind,
seek and you will find
all you're called to be.
If anyone would come and follow me,
know the truth will make you free.
Give and you receive.
Trust me and believe.
Come and follow me.
Verse 2:
Go, take your gift
to the poor and the lonely.
As you love, so will I live in you.
Will you feed, feed my lambs?
Give your hope to the hopeless?
Bring new sight to the blind in my name?
With a towel and a basin, t'ward the kingdom we will hasten,
through the narrow gate that leads to Calvary.
Refrain
