Album: I'LL BE THERE | Song lyrics to: DETERMINED TO FOLLOW YOU
"DETERMINED TO FOLLOW YOU"
Verse 1
The time has come for me to take a stand,
Time to choose, choose the way I must go.
Will I walk in the light,
Or wander through the night?
Time has come to decide on which side I'm on.
Chorus 1
Lord, help me not to go astray;
I need You now to lead the way,
Or I might some day just lose my way
If I don't stay determined to follow You.
Verse 2
I'm taking the road that leads to higher ground.
Veering off the streets that dragged my spirit down
Depleted my urge to compromise for gain.
I can't go on pretending life's just a game.
Repeat Chorus 1
Music break: -------
Bridge
Following Your shining light,
Even through the darkest night,
Lord, You can pull me through.
So I now depend on You.
Following Your shining light,
Helping me to see things right,
What will You have me do?
'Cause I'm set on following You.
Chorus 2
Lord, help me not to go astray;
I need You now to lead the way,
Or I might some day just lose my way
If I don't stay determined to follow.
