൯ SISTER ACT - I Will Follow Him

Sister Act is a 1992 American comedy film released by Touchstone Pictures. Directed by Emile Ardolino, it features musical arrangements by Marc Shaiman and stars Whoopi Goldberg as a Reno lounge singer who has been put under protective custody in a San Francisco convent and has to pretend to be a nun when a mob boss puts her on his hit list. Also in the cast are Maggie Smith, Kathy Najimy, Wendy Makkena, Mary Wickes, and Harvey Keitel. The film is #83 on Bravo's The 100 Funniest Movies list.

The film was followed by a 1993 sequel, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit. It also inspired a musical stage version that premiered at the Pasadena Playhouse in Pasadena, California in 2006, and opened at the London Palladium with previews from May 7, 2009.



I will follow Him
Follow Him wherever He may go
And near Him, I always will be
For nothing can keep me away
He is my destiny.

I will follow Him,
Ever since He touched my heart I knew
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep me away, away from His love.

I love Him, I love Him, I love Him
And where He goes
I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow.

I will follow Him
Follow Him wherever He may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep me away

We will follow Him
Follow Him wherever He may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep us away, away from His love...

I love Him
(Oh yes I love Him)
I'll follow
(I'm gonna follow)
True love
(He'll always be my true, true love)
Forever
(From now until forever)
I love Him, I love Him, I love Him
And where He goes
I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow
He'll always be my true love
My true love, my true love
From now until forever
Forever, forever...

There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep us away, away from His love..

The film's soundtrack was released in conjunction with the film, and contained the musical numbers performed by actors in the film itself, pre-recorded songs that were used as part of the background music, and instrumental music composed by Marc Shaiman for the film. The soundtrack album debuted at #74 and eventually reached #40 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart where it charted for 54 weeks. The album received a Gold certification from the RIAA for shipment of 500,000 copies on January 13, 1993. [wikipedia]
