Follow Me
I traveled down lonely road
And no one seemed to care
The burden on my weary back
Had bowed me to despair
I oft complained to Jesus
How folks were treating me
And then I heard Him say so tenderly
My feet were also weary
Upon the Calvary road
The cross became so heavy
I fell beneath the load
Be faithful weary pilgrim
The morning I can see
Just lift your cross
And follow close to me.

I work so hard for Jesus
I often boast and say
I’ve sacrificed a lot of things
To walk the narrow way
I gave up fame and fortune
I’m worth a lot to Thee
And then I hear Him gently say to me
I left the throne of glory
And counted it but loss
My hands were nailed in anger
Upon the cruel cross
But now we’ll make the journey
With your hand safe in mine
So lift your cross
And follow close to me.

O Jesus if I die upon
A foreign field someday
‘Twould be no more
Than love demands
No less could I repay
No greater love hath mortal man
Than for a friend to die
These are the words
He gently spoke to me
If just a cup of water
I place within your hand
Then just a cup of water
Is all that I demand
But if by death to living
They can thy glory see
I’ll take my cross
And follow close to Thee.
