I Choose to Follow

The days are getting shorter The nights are getting colder The blankets on the bed are getting deep I shudder as I balk At the puppy’s morning walk I simply want to get back to sleep But then I realized That the morning has arrived Christmas looms a few days away So, I get my garments on As the sun begins to dawn I walk into the cold and greet the day God, I know you are there with me Walking every step along the way In the cold or in the warmth In the springtime or the fall I know you are there with me My morning walk has ended My day is not upended As I settle in to read my Father’s words The Bible is now open And it seems the words are spoken Right into my heart to change my world God, I know you are there with me Walking every step along the way In the cold or in the warmth In the springtime or the fall I know you are there with me Every day you teach me Every day you reach me The words of the book all speak to me Every day you guide me Every day you hide me From the testing of the enemy Every day you’re present Every day a lesson As my heart is open to your voice Every day I listen Every day you speak Then it’s time for me to make a choice I choose to follow I choose to follow you I choose to follow you, Lord Jesus I choose to follow I choose to follow you I choose to follow you, Lord Jesus I choose to follow I choose to follow you I choose to follow you, Lord Jesus God, I know you are there with me Walking every step along the way In the cold or in the warmth In the springtime or the fall I know you are there with me God, I know you are there with me Walking every step along the way In the cold or in the warmth In the springtime or the fall I know you are there with me I choose to follow I choose to follow you I choose to follow you, Lord Jesus
