“I’ll Follow Christ,” New Era, Aug. 1988, 12–13

I’ll Follow Christ

Words by Reed Hainsworth

Music by Rebecca Woodworth Hainsworth

First-Place Song

1. My life, like the sands which form the earth,
molding, changing from my birth.
My life I can build on rock or on the sand.
On Christ, my rock, alone I’ll stand.
I will look to Christ to show the way, His word obey.

[Chorus:]
I’ll follow Christ, each step in His while upon this earth I roam.
My hand in His, I’ll walk led by faith.
He’ll lead me home.

2. A seed, a growing plant in need of care,
My Source of Light is always there.
I’ll feed on Living Water and the Bread of Life,
seeking Him in joy and strife.
I will look to Christ from day to day, His word obey.

[Chorus]

3. One goal, a mighty purpose to fulfill,
accomplished when I do His will.
I’m whole when again Christ’s presence I have won,
when He says, “My child, well done.”
I will look to Christ eternally, His word believe.

[Chorus]

He’ll lead me home.
