CHORUS
Follow Me. Deny yourself and follow Me.
It’s decision time. Leave it all behind and follow Me.
V1
If anyone would come after Me
He must deny himself and carry the cross, daily
And follow Me.
I tell you the truth, when you were younger
You would dress yourself and go where you want to.
When you are old, they’ll tie up your hands
And take you where you don’t want to go.
CHORUS
V2
Two brothers, Andrew and Peter, were fishing
Casting their net in the Galilee Sea
“I will make you fishers of men, come follow Me”
Foxes have holes and birds have their nests
But, the Son of Man has no place for His head.
Follow Me and let the dead bury the dead.
CHORUS
V3
There was a man named Matthew sitting in a booth,
Collecting the taxes from his own kind, the Jews.
But, he left everything when Jesus said follow Me.
For those who leave houses, sisters and brothers,
Children and fields, Fathers and Mothers
You’ll receive that a hundred times plus life eternal.
