Where He Leads Me, I Will Follow

We buried our oldest person in our neighborhood Wednesday. He had lived a long life of 93 years. He was a person who always thought about his neighbors. Until he was unable to garden, he was continually growing vegetables and giving them away to his neighbors. He not only gave them away, but he would come to our door, laden down with cantaloupes or other vegetables. I have known this man for 43 years and have never heard one unkind word uttered about him.

After his death, the song, 'Where He Leads Me, I will Follow' came to my mind. I thought it would be a great tribute to a wonderful man, who was loved by his family and his friends.


Where He Leads Me, I Will Follow

I can hear my Saviour calling,
I can hear my Saviour calling,
I can hear my Saviour calling,
"Take thy cross and follow, follow me".

Chorus:
Where He leads me I will follow -
I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.

I'll go with Him thru the garden,
I'll go with Him thru the garden,
I'll go with Him thru the garden,
I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.

Chorus:
Where He leads me I will follow -
I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.

I'll go with Him thru the judgment,
I'll go with Him thru the judgment,
I'll go with Him thru the judgment,
I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.

Chorus:
Where He leads me I will follow -
I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.

He will give me grace and glory,
He will give me grace and glory,
He will give me grace and glory,
And go with me, with me all the way.

Chorus:
Where He leads me I will follow -
I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.
