"Come, follow Me!"
And we see where Thy footprints falling,
Lead us to Thee.
Refrain:
Footprints of Jesus that make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus where’er they go.
2 Tho' they lead o’er the cold, dark mountains,
Seeking His sheep,
Or along by Siloam’s fountains,
Helping the weak. [Refrain]
3 If they lead thro' the temple holy,
Preaching the Word,
Or in homes of the poor and lowly,
Serving the Lord. [Refrain]
4 Then, at last, when on high He sees us,
Our journey done,
We will rest where the steps of Jesus
End at His throne. [Refrain] Topics: Walking with God Guidance and Care; Aspiration and Consecration; Christ Example Languages: English Tune Title: FOOTSTEPS
