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..
