The twelve of you walked on the earth together

The father was a brother to you all

The teaching that you heard was the Living Word

The wonders and the miracles you saw



There were times of awesome inspiration

There were times you didn't understand

And when He had to go and you felt alone

It must have been so hard to see His plan



I think about the way you carried on

In the face of persecution you stood strong...



Chorus:

I will follow Christ

I will run the race

Fighting the good fight

Standing on my faith

I will wear the name of Jesus

I will give Him all my life

As for me no matter what the sacrifice

I will follow Christ



Now I don't have to look across the ages

His voice is speaking in my heart today

His Word is like a flame consuming all my shame

His life a shining star to show the way



Chorus:

I will follow Christ

I will run the race

Fighting the good fight

Standing on my faith

I will wear the name of Jesus

I will give Him all my life

As for me no matter what the sacrifice

I will follow Christ



I behold Your life and see the man You want me to become

Living like someone whose heart belongs to the kingdom

That was sealed on Calvary

I will show the world what I believe



I will follow Christ

I will run the race

Fighting the good fight

Standing on my faith

I will wear the name of Jesus

I will give Him all my life

As for me no matter what the sacrifice

I will follow Christ
