To Follow this God
Song [Congregational] – Lyrics by Malcolm Gordon, Music by Malcolm Gordon and Mo Morgan
Mark 8:31-33, 9:30-37, 10:32-34
To follow this God
Is to suffer with him
To turn our face
To Jerusalem
To follow this God
Is to bleed for this world
To turn the cheek
No evil returned
That the first may be last As the crucified Christ That the least may be great
As the cursed raised to life
So we take up our cross And we follow behind
For we suffer with Christ And with Christ we will rise
To follow this God
Is to meet Him in death The cup of suff’ring
Drained to its dregs
To follow this God
Is to die among thieves
To speak the good news Even to these
That the first may be last As the crucified Christ That the least may be great
As the cursed raised to life
So we take up our cross And we follow behind
For we suffer with Christ And with Christ we will rise
To follow this God
Make the wilderness home And watch life grow
In the vale of dry bones
To follow this God
Make your bed in the depths
And see hope rise
In the valley of death
That the first may be last As the crucified Christ That the least may be great
As the cursed raised to life
So we take up our cross And we follow behind
For we suffer with Christ And with Christ we will rise
