Lord, I Would Follow Thee

Savior, may I learn to love thee,

Walk the path that thou hast shown,

Pause to help and lift another,

Finding strength beyond my own.

Savior, may I learn to love thee-

Lord, I would follow thee.

Who am I to judge another

When I walk imperfectly?

In the quiet heart is hidden

Sorrow that the eye can't see.

Who am I to judge another?

Lord, I would follow thee.

I would be my brother's keeper;

I would learn the healer's art.

To the wounded and the weary

I would show a gentle heart.

I would be my brother's keeper-

Lord, I would follow thee.

Savior, may I love my brother

As I know thou lovest me,

Find in thee my strength, my beacon,

For thy servant I would be.

Savior, may I love my brother-

Lord, I would follow thee.

How can I look upon the person on the left any differently than I did the person on the right? I know our involvement here will be difficult, time consuming, and sometimes not what seems "best" for our family or the people. But how can I turn my back on either of these little people when I know that through Him all things are possible?

In my life God has proven that when He asks us to do hard things, or when He asks us to do things the world thinks are crazy, He strengthens us and it all works out. Usually with the greatest personal and family growth. I again feel blessed to be in a situation where we can do this.

Lord, I would follow thee.
