1 For salvation are you praying?
Follow Me, follow Me;
Leave your nets without delaying,
Follow, follow Me.

Refrain:
I am the way, the only way,
Follow Me, follow Me;
Yield thy heart, O yield today,
Follow, follow Me.

2 I’ve been tempted without falling,
Follow Me, follow Me;
Heed the Holy Spirit’s calling,
Follow, follow Me. [Refrain]

3 I’ve been mock’d and scourg’d and taunted,
Follow Me, follow Me;
With a heart and faith undaunted,
Follow, follow Me. [Refrain]

4 For your sins my life was given,
Follow Me, follow Me;
From the grave I rose to heaven,
Follow, follow Me. [Refrain]
