Today's word of the day for the Write 31 Day Challenge is Follow. So I thought I'd look for a hymn (cause it's Sunday you know) but didn't know one off the top of my head, so I went a hunting and found this one called Follow On (Down in the valley with my saviour I would go). I like the upbeat tune and could probably have a lot of fun singing this song. :)
Lyrics
1 Down in the valley with my Savior I would go,
Where the flowers are blooming and the sweet waters flow;
Everywhere He leads me I will follow, follow on,
Walking in His footsteps till the crown be won.
Where the flowers are blooming and the sweet waters flow;
Everywhere He leads me I will follow, follow on,
Walking in His footsteps till the crown be won.
Chorus:
Follow! follow! I will follow Jesus!
Anywhere, everywhere, I will follow on!
Follow! follow! I will follow Jesus!
Everywhere He leads me I will follow on!
Follow! follow! I will follow Jesus!
Anywhere, everywhere, I will follow on!
Follow! follow! I will follow Jesus!
Everywhere He leads me I will follow on!
2 Down in the valley with my Savior I would go,
Where the storms are sweeping and the dark waters flow;
With His hand to lead me I will never, never fear,
Danger cannot fright me if my Lord is near. (Chorus)
Where the storms are sweeping and the dark waters flow;
With His hand to lead me I will never, never fear,
Danger cannot fright me if my Lord is near. (Chorus)
3 Down in the valley or upon the mountain steep,
Close beside my Savior would my soul ever keep;
He will lead me safely in the path that He has trod,
Up to where they gather on the hills of God. (Chorus)
Close beside my Savior would my soul ever keep;
He will lead me safely in the path that He has trod,
Up to where they gather on the hills of God. (Chorus)

Another option - "Where He Leads Me I Will Follow" - a line from the chorus of a hymn I grew up with and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteNever heard this one but it certainly is upbeat, isn't it? I do like it. I may have to see if we have access to the printed music and have my hubby lead it next time he is leading singing.
That's another that i don't know Lori, do you have a link to the full song? Your hubby leads worship? neat!
DeleteHere's the best one I can find. We tend to sing it a bit peppier but it is the right one for what I know.

Sometimes it is sung with "I can hear my Savior calling" to the melody of the chorus as the verse instead of "Sweet are the promises."
Interesting , neat song, good use of the word follow
