Thessalonians 1:6; Philippians 3:17

 
 1 

When the brothers are in order,

And you sense Christ is their life,

Follow them and watch for Jesus,

Ending thus your thought and strife.

 

Follow brothers, follow sisters,

When you sense Christ is their life,

Follow brothers, follow sisters,

Help prepare the Bride for Christ.

 
 2 

When you follow, as you follow,

Take the blood, and call His name;

Much assurance He will give you,

And the enemy you'll shame.

 

Follow brothers, follow sisters,

When you sense Christ is their life,

Follow brothers, follow sisters,

Help prepare the Bride for Christ.

 
 3 

When they speak, as they are speaking,

Open wide your heart to them,

Thus the Word of God receiving,

Word of God, and not of men.

 

Follow brothers, follow sisters,

When you sense Christ is their life,

Follow brothers, follow sisters,

Help prepare the Bride for Christ.

 
 4 

Now the Word of God is running,

Running fast, and running free.

This is how the Lord is moving,

In His own recovery.

 

Follow brothers, follow sisters,

When you sense Christ is their life,

Follow brothers, follow sisters,

Help prepare the Bride for Christ.

 
 5 

O be glad, rejoice, dear brothers,

For the coming wedding day.

Then the Bride will be made ready —

Those who followed all the way.

 

Follow brothers, follow sisters,

When you sense Christ is their life,

Follow brothers, follow sisters,

Help prepare the Bride for Christ.
