Apologetix – Follow Me lyrics

[Adaptation of Follow Me by Uncle Kracker]

You don't know how He met me
You don't know why you can't turn around my faith in Christ
Long ago, when I went-a fishing one day at sea
He said to me, "James, try some fishing for me"

He told me
Follow me and I said, "Jesus, alright"
I'll be the one to trust you in this life
And if you wanna leave life in Galilee
You know I'll go gladly, just like Thee

I'm not worried about the king out there
'Cause the Lord has got my soul and my body don't care
You feel I'm guilty and I'm well aware
A funeral's booked for James but baby, I'm not scared

He told me
Follow me and I said, "Jesus, alright"
I'll be the one to trust you in this life
And if you're gonna be fighting Pharisees
You know I'll go gladly, just like Thee

Forgive me, Mama
I can't kiss you goodbye
You're better off if you don't drop by
I'm locked in prison
I'll soon go away
But maybe they'll write of this and Acts 12 someday

Follow me and I said, "Jesus, alright"
I'll be the one to trust you in this life
And if you wanna lead to Gethsemane
You know I'll go gladly, just like Thee

You don't know how He met me
You don't know Christ
You've captured me now and say I'll die
All I know is when I've left you
I'm breaking free
So cling to your vain lives
I'm itching to leave

He told me
Follow me and I said, "Jesus, alright"
I'll be the one to trust you in this life
And if you wanna lead up to Calvary
You know I'll go gladly, just like Thee

Follow me and I said, "Jesus, alright"
I'll be the one to trust you in this life
And if you wanna lead up to Calvary
You know I'll go gladly, just like Thee

He told me
Follow me and I said, "Jesus, alright"
I'll be the one to trust you in this life
And if you wanna lead to the heavenlies
You know I'll go gladly, just like Thee
