lord, i would follow thee

Savior may I learn to love thee,
Walk the path that thou has shown.
Pause to help and lift another,
Finding strength beyond my own
Savior may I learn to love thee,
Lord, I will follow thee.


I would be my brother's keeper, 
I would learn the healer's art.
To the wounded and the weary
I would show a tender heart.
I would be my brother's keeper,
Lord, I will follow thee.


Stir my heart with Love's compassion,
when in weakness I withhold.
I would heal as thou hast healed me.
Comfort, strengthen and enfold.
Sit my heart with Love's compassion,
Lord, I would follow thee.


Precious, fleeting is my time here,
Whisper wisdom to my mind.
Courage when my heart is aching,
Faith when fear is all I find
Precious, fleeting is my time here,
Lord, I would follow thee.


women's chorus sang at sister julie b. beck's devotional at byu yesterday. we sang two new verses for the hymn "Lord, I Would Follow Thee" that i fell in love with. the thing i took away from her talk was that relief society should be a refuge from the world...
