Follow Me

Verse 1

You didn’t come with a clenched fist,

Or shout Your name from a throne of stone.

You walked our roads, You felt our ache,

Chose dust and tears to call Your own.

You had the right to command the world,

But You knelt down and washed our feet.

You showed us love isn’t grabbing hold—

It’s laying power down completely.

Pre-Chorus

You didn’t cling to what You could claim,

You chose the cross, You bore the shame.

Chorus

You said, “Follow Me,” down the narrow way,

Where love costs more than words can say.

Not to rule, not to rise above,

But to serve the least, to pour out love.

You showed us life is truly won

When we give it away like the Father’s Son.

I hear Your call, I choose to be

A servant heart that follows Thee.

Verse 2

You wore no crown till thorns were pressed,

No privilege claimed, no rank confessed.

You took responsibility for broken lives,

Carried our weight, paid our price.

You could have called the heavens down,

But mercy held You to the tree.

You didn’t dominate with holy force,

You conquered hearts with humility.

Pre-Chorus

Your strength was shown in sacrifice,

Your love revealed the better life.

Chorus

You said, “Follow Me,” not for gain or fame,

But to lose ourselves in a greater name.

Not to control or to stand above,

But to bend low, to choose to love.

You showed us power finds its use

When it’s poured out for the broken and bruised.

I hear Your call, I choose to be

A servant heart that follows Thee.

Bridge (build)

If You laid down all You could claim,

Who am I to live for lesser things?

Teach me the way of open hands,

To love like You—to understand.

Breakdown (quiet, prayerful)

I don’t follow You for comfort or control…

I follow You to learn how to love.

Final Chorus (Lift)

You said, “Follow Me,” into selfless grace,

Where we carry hope into every place.

Not to be first, not to be seen,

But to live the truth of what You mean.

Jesus, You showed us who You are—

The Servant King, the wounded scar.

I give my life, I bend my knee,

I will follow You—

Follow Thee.

Outro (soft, resolved)

Not my will.

Not my way.

I will follow…

Every day.
