Verse 1 Adam was a prophet, first one that we know, In the garden of Eden, he helped things grow. He served the Lord by walkin’ His ways, We’re his children now in these latter days. Chorus (Call & Response) Follow the prophet, follow the prophet, Follow the prophet — don’t go astray! Follow the prophet, follow the prophet, Follow the prophet — he knows the way! Verse 2 Noah was a prophet, called to preach the Word, Tried to cry repentance, but nobody heard. Folks kept on sinnin’, Noah prayed in vain, They wished they’d listened when they saw the rain! Chorus Follow the prophet, follow the prophet, Follow the prophet — don’t go astray! Follow the prophet, follow the prophet, Follow the prophet — he knows the way! Verse 3 Moses was a prophet, sent to Israel, Led ‘em through the desert where they had to dwell. They grumbled and wandered, forty years gone by, But the Lord still led them by a pillar in the sky! Chorus (Choir call & clap) Follow the prophet, follow the prophet, Follow the prophet — don’t go astray! Follow the prophet, follow the prophet, Follow the prophet — he knows the way! Verse 4 Jonah was a prophet, tried to run away, But he learned obedience the hard way. Deep down in the belly of that whale, He prayed to the Lord, and the Lord prevailed! Chorus (Handclaps & Organ fill) Follow the prophet, follow the prophet, Follow the prophet — don’t go astray! Follow the prophet, follow the prophet, Follow the prophet — he knows the way! Verse 5 (Final Revival Verse) Now the world’s confused, just turn on the news, Seems like everyone’s got their own view. We can find direction all along our way, If we heed the prophets and follow what they say! Final Chorus (Full Choir & Horns) Follow the prophet, follow the prophet, Follow the prophet — don’t go astray! Follow the prophet, follow the prophet, Follow the prophet — he knows the way! Tag / Outro (Call & Fade) He knows the way — yes, He knows the way! The Lord won’t fail, He’ll lead today! Follow the prophet — don’t go astray, Follow the prophet — He knows the way! (fade out on claps, choir ad-libs, and blues guitar riff)
