Where you go, I'll go
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow...
All your ways are good
All your ways are sure
I will trust in you alone
Higher than my side
High above my life
I will trust in you alone
Where you go, I'll go
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow you
Who you love, I'll love
How you serve I'll serve
If this life I lose, I will follow you
I will follow you
Light unto the world
Light unto my life
I will live for you alone
You're the one I seek
Knowing I will find
All I need in you alone, in you alone
In you there's life everlasting
In you there's freedom for my soul
In you there joy, unending joy
and I will follow
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow...
All your ways are good
All your ways are sure
I will trust in you alone
Higher than my side
High above my life
I will trust in you alone
Where you go, I'll go
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow you
Who you love, I'll love
How you serve I'll serve
If this life I lose, I will follow you
I will follow you
Light unto the world
Light unto my life
I will live for you alone
You're the one I seek
Knowing I will find
All I need in you alone, in you alone
In you there's life everlasting
In you there's freedom for my soul
In you there joy, unending joy

Okay I really very strongly feel that we are suppose to mean what we say!! I know many of us (me included at times) sing just to sing. We love the songs, we find the tune catchy, or whatever may be. But do we really truly stop and consider the words. Take this song above. It has a catchy tune that you can't help but move to but have
you considered the words and what they mean...
Where you go, I'll go
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow...
Think about it are you really ready to make this bold statement to God. Where you go, I'll go... means you could end up somewhere you NEVER thought or even wanted to go, but you are willing to go! Where you stay, I'll stay... Okay this one means you may have to stay in a situation that you so desperately want out of! Think about it Christ stayed upon that cross for you and I. Do you really think that he was enjoying that situation? When you move, I'll move... Guys we have been called to action! We are called to move and we are to move in sync with what the Lord has planned. I will follow... Meaning more than just going to church and putting our time in. We must truly know Christ in order to follow Him!!
All your ways are good
All your ways are sure
I will trust in you alone
Higher than my side
High above my life
I will trust in you alone
Do we truly believe these words? Its easy to sing them. Its easy to raise our hands and want to believe them but actually believing them and living a life that represents these words... Not so easy!! All your ways are good All your ways are sure I will trust in you alone... This means ALL!!! We tend to want to trust Him in the easy things. We want to trust Him when things are going great but when things get hard we second guess Him. I do this! I second guess Him when I worry. Worry is not having true faith in Him! Trusting in Him alone means we have to quit relying on ourselves and others and truly trust in Him ALONE!!!! Higher than my side High above my life I will trust in you alone... Do we believe that He is higher? Do we exalt Him to His rightful place? Or do we place our lives higher? Once again I will trust in you alone means in HIM not ourselves!!!
Where you go, I'll go
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow you
Who you love, I'll love
How you serve I'll serve
If this life I lose, I will follow you
I will follow you
Okay so I've talked about what I believe the first part means so I will just jump into the next. Who you love, I'll love... Ouch I am stepping all over my own toes! This means we are suppose to love everyone, even those who hurt us and betray us. Christ died while we were still sinners. He didn't just die for those who were closest to Him but for ALL who believe!! He died for those who beat him and crucified Him. He asked the Lord to forgive them for they know not what they do!!! How you serve I'll serve... For those of us who want to just put our time in and move on that is not what we are called to do. Jesus came to serve not be served. Which means that if we are going to follow Him then we must be out serving others. If this life I lose, I will follow you, I will follow you... Guys scripture tells us we must die in order to live. Are you willing to lay down your life for Christ? There are people out there putting their lives on the line in order to spread the truth of Christ to all. They could very seriously lose their life. Have you thought about the fact that at any given moment Christ could call you to do this? Would you?
Light unto the world
Light unto my life
I will live for you alone
You're the one I seek
Knowing I will find
All I need in you alone, in you alone
Do we believe Him when he says he is the light of the world? He is the light unto my path? Are we serious when we say I will live for you alone, you're the one I seek knowing I will find All I need in you alone, in you alone! These are some mighty words. They mean something! When we sing them we should mean them!!
In you there's life everlasting
In you there's freedom for my soul
In you there joy, unending joy
and I will follow
This says it all!! In you there's life everlasting... John 3:16. In you there's freedom for my soul...Galatians 2:4 and Galatians 5:1. In you there's joy, unending joy...You can find examples of this joy all throughout the Psalms.
Seriously the reason I am writing this blog is because God has really pressed it on my heart that we sing these songs and don't really think about the words!! We don't really understand what we are singing to our Lord! I mean if you are singing a love song to your honey don't you really think about what you're saying. You're not going to sing something you don't mean or you might have to live up to it. Isn't that what we are doing, singing love songs to our King? Shouldn't we mean it, fully understanding that someday we might have to live up to those words!!!
