I am the one that follows,
that ever learns
and corrects,
shining as I go
He was the one who led,
set the course
and loved
and above all gave
I will follow Him always,
until the end
and pray
for love and peace
I will often fall
or perhaps misstep,
but rise,
always to try again
It is in the following
that I become,
can lead
and live in service
Where He has gone,
a trail left,
a guide
for all who follow
Where He has died,
a marker left,
shared eternal
to show all the way
Where He has risen,
an eternal sign
loves’ light
meant to be shared
I am the one that follows
perhaps to lead,
a reminder
that He’s not gone
He is here always,
with us all,
giving grace
and guiding us home
He is the one who leads,
reminding us daily,
offering love
and forgiveness to all
He is the guiding light,
showing the path,
I am
the one that follows
