Lyrics:

“Wherever He Leads I’ll Go”
“Take up thy cross and follow Me,”
I heard my Master say
“I gave My life to ransom thee
Surrender your all today.”

Wherever He leads I’ll go
Wherever He leads I’ll go
I’ll follow my Christ who loves me so
Wherever He leads I’ll go

He drew me closer to His side
I sought His will to know
And in that will I now abide
Wherever He leads I’ll go

Wherever He leads I’ll go
Wherever He leads I’ll go
I’ll follow my Christ who loves me so
Wherever He leads I’ll go

My heart, my life, my all I bring
To Christ who loves me so
He is my Master, Lord, and King
Wherever He leads I’ll go

Wherever He leads I’ll go
Wherever He leads I’ll go
I’ll follow my Christ who loves me so
Wherever He leads I’ll go

Wherever He leads I’ll go
