i will follow christ lyrics

The twelve of you walked on the earth together
The Father was a brother to you all
The teaching that you heard was the Living Word
The wonders and the miracles you saw

There were times of awesome inspiration
There were times you didn't understand
And when He had to go and you felt alone
It must have been so hard to see His plan

I think about the way You carried on
In the face of persecution You stood strong

So I will follow Christ, I will run the race
Fighting the good fight, standin' on my faith
I will wear the name of Jesus, I will give Him all my life
As for me, no matter what the sacrifice, I will follow Christ

Now I don't have to look across the ages
His voice is speaking in my heart today
His word is like a flame, consumin' all my shame
His life, a shining star to show the way

So I will follow Christ and I will run the race
Fighting the good fight, standing on my faith
I will wear the name of Jesus, I will give Him all my life
As for me, no matter what the sacrifice, yes, I will follow Christ

I behold your life and see the man You want me to become
Living like someone whose heart belongs to You, the Kingdom
That was sealed on Calvary
I will show the world what I believe, yes I believe

I will follow Christ, yeah, I will run the race
Fighting the good fight and standing on my faith
I will wear the name of Jesus, I will give Him all my life
As for me, no matter what the sacrifice, I will follow Christ
I will wear the name of Jesus, yeah, I will give Him all my life
As for me, no matter what the sacrifice, I will follow Christ

I will run the race, yeah, yeah
I will follow Christ, I will follow, yeah
Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will
I will follow Christ
I'm gonna follow you, my Lord
I'm gonna follow you, my Lord
