I believe and I will follow you...
In the good days, in the bad days, in the sickness, in the storms, in the want, in my death... I believe and I will follow you.
"I believe, and I have seen your unchanging heart. In the good things and in the hardest part, I believe and I will follow you."
It's really easy to follow someone when you know where they are going. It's easy when you have the map in front of you. When you know where the road is heading. And the road is clear. When there's no traffic, when you can clearly see the lead car, you know the destination. Or you have Google Maps talking to you and giving directions even though you are following a person.
But what about when you don't know where the road is going? What about when the fog has rolled in and you can't quite see anything more than their taillights, no matter how closely you follow? When the road is windy, and you've never driven it before? When you're outside of Google's GPS signal? What do you do then?
You have to trust the leader. You have to believe that they know you are behind them. That they won't leave you in the dust. You have to believe. and follow.
How often my life feels like that. Like a road trip where I don't know the destination, where I just have to trust that the One that I am following does know the road. That they know I'm following them, and that they won't leave me in the dust. And where I practice that trust, that belief, is in the good. I practice following the leader when I can easily see them, when there isn't a storm. We have to practice our faith in the good things, so that in the hardest part we have a relationship with God where we believe and will follow.
Friends, take the time to learn God's unchanging heart. In those places where you are simply following on faith, you have to know his unchanging heart so you can believe. Practice following on the straight and narrow.
When I come to end this race I've run
And I receive the prize that Christ has won
I will be with You in Paradise
I will be with You in Paradise
When the sea is calm and all is right
When I feel Your favor flood my life
Even in the good, I'll follow You
Even in the good, I'll follow You
When the boat is tossed upon the waves
When I wonder if You'll keep me safe
Even in the storms, I'll follow You
Even in the storms, I'll follow You
I believe everything that You say You are
I believe and I have seen Your unchanging heart
In the good things and in the hardest part
I believe and I will follow You
I believe and I will follow You
When I see the wicked prospering
When I feel I have no voice to sing
Even in the want, I'll follow You
Even in the want, I'll follow You
I believe everything that You say You are
I believe and I have seen Your unchanging heart
In the good things and in the hardest part
I believe and I will follow You
I believe and I will follow You
When I find myself so far from home
And You lead me somewhere that I don't wanna go
Even in my death, I'll follow You
Even in my death, I'll follow You
When I come to end this race I've run
And I receive the prize that Christ has won
I will be with You in Paradise
I will be with You in Paradise
I believe everything that You say You are
I believe and I have seen Your unchanging heart
In the good things and in the hardest part
I believe and I will follow You
I believe and I will follow You
