I Choose to Follow You - Ron Salsbury and the J. C. Power Outlet

Though some friends may choose to criticize,
I'll be a fool in some man's eyes,
But still, I choose to follow you.

Though people may say that I've lost my mind,
But I want so much to find,
A joy to last my whole life through,
So I choose to follow you.

Chorus:
For so long my heart has been without,
The kind of faith that ends the doubt,
But my faith in time will grow,
In your love I know.

I don't care what some people say,
Though my friends all turn away,
But still, I choose to follow you.

I want so much in my life to be free,
Though my friends may disagree,
I know that they want the same things too,
So I choose to follow you.

Instrumental

I know that some will laugh at me,
But I pray that my friends see, you Lord,
And choose to follow you.

I know when doubts and troubles come,
I know that I won't turn and run,
Because you'll be there to help me through,
So I choose to follow you.
