Follow Thou Me

The overflowing flood coming over my head 

Righteously for strife and sin it did come in

“Go softly” the exhortation is to me

Bowed my heart to wait for my God to further lead me again 

Sackcloth my continual covering

My shoes I put off and the voice of a dear friend I hear once again...

“I am with you, says He, be strong 

Ye that hear the former prophets, 

Be strong, Be strong...

A house for my feet to rest will I make, only let me take you in a way few have been willing to take

A way of trial, temptation, loneliness and pain,

To a land not sown down under

There cast your seed and give your bread,

Open your mouth for the dumb

Blessing I will bless you and multiplying I will multiply you 

Only give not your heart to lying vanities but wholly to me
I am your Saviour, Jesus is my name

I will declare it all over you in time of weakness 

As I refine and not refrain

With your lips do honor me and let your heart draw near unto me 

My way that I take you is perfect for I know the way you take...

"Follow thou me."

You know the way I take, You know the way I take 

Your way is perfect, Your way is perfect,
