[D] _ _
[Gb] I think I want to tell you [G] of _ [F] a happening that [A] George and I had many [Em] years ago when
all of our children were little.
_ _ [Dm] _ _ I've shared with you several times that George and I have
raised our [Bm] family in a very small church.
Well, under 50, [Em] that's [C] small and it's short.
_ There are many, many small [Eb] churches, right?
Sure, you probably go to a small church. _ _
[Dm] And so if there were any big conventions [G] or anything, we would always want to [Dm] take our
kids and let them know that the Church of Jesus [Em] Christ is much bigger than our little
50 in Chicago.
[Dm] _ _ _ _ And so the kids, I think we had a couple teenagers and then three younger,
[F] and we went to this big, big [C] convention.
Now when I say big, I say 30,000.
To me that's
very large.
[Em] _ _ And they had teen [Dm] night.
_ Teen night.
I loved it.
The choir was banked.
The whole end of the arena were [B] teenagers.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
And at the [B] end of the service that evening,
[Gb] and George and I with our kids [Dm] with us, _ _ [G] _ _
they said to this group of teenagers, if you are
willing to follow Christ, [F] if you are willing to do what Christ asks you to do, just come
forward and [B] let's have a [Fm] word of [C] prayer.
_ _ _ _ Well, you know what happened to [F] me?
_ _ [Em] I just went
to tears.
It seemed to me as if that whole [G] bank of the arena [C] just began to [Fm] come [E] forward
[Em] _ as everybody [B] sang.
And I looked at that and I thought, these kids could change the world.
These kids, the group that's there coming down saying they are going to follow Christ,
they could change the world.
And we all begin to [C] sing, _ [Em] Jesus [Ebm] calls [G] me.
_ [F] I must follow, [G] _ follow
_ _ [Em] him [Am] always.
[E] _ _ [C] _ [Em] When my [C] Savior [G] _ [D] goes [G] before [Am] me, I can _ [Dm] never stray.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ Follow, _ _ I will [Gb] [G] follow thee, _
_ _ _ my _ [Ebm] [Dm] Lord.
_ _ Oh, [G] _ _ every [C] passing _ _ day, _ _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] tomorrows are [Dm] [G] home _ _ [F] _ [Dm] to thee.
_ _ _ Thou _ _ [Ab] will _ [G] lead me _ _ away.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [B] _
_ [G] _ Thou will [C] lead me all the way.
_ _ _ I really didn't mean to spend so much time on this one song,
but how can you not?
What an assurance we have.
Thou will lead me all the way.
Lead
as long as I follow, you will [N] lead me.
