Trust And Follow



Trust And Follow

Let me into your life You say
Trust and follow I do
The way to the Promised Land is
Open and wide with abundance
Welcome is assured as promise
Even if obstacles are before me
Yet Your word guarantees
Victory will be the outcome
When I trust and follow You.

The landscape lays before me
Even if darkness shadows
Before dawn You prepare the path
When I am totally willing
For You fight my battle
Leading from the front
Giving me strength within
No enemy can stand against us
When I abide in You.

Seeking You first and foremost
The focus I pay attention
You are the mightiest power
In person and present within me
Yes the struggle is real
But You are more than enough
Capable of doing great things
I can overcome anything
When I trust and follow You.
