The twelve of you walked on the earth together   The father was a brother to you all   The teaching that you heard was the Living Word   The wonders and the miracles you saw      There were times of awesome inspiration   There were times you didn't understand   And when He had to go and you felt alone   It must have been so hard to see His plan      I think about the way you carried on   In the face of persecution you stood strong...      Chorus:   I will follow Christ   I will run the race   Fighting the good fight   Standing on my faith   I will wear the name of Jesus   I will give Him all my life   As for me no matter what the sacrifice   I will follow Christ      Now I don't have to look across the ages   His voice is speaking in my heart today   His Word is like a flame consuming all my shame   His life a shining star to show the way      Chorus:   I will follow Christ   I will run the race   Fighting the good fight   Standing on my faith   I will wear the name of Jesus   I will give Him all my life   As for me no matter what the sacrifice   I will follow Christ      I behold Your life and see the man You want me to become   Living like someone whose heart belongs to the kingdom   That was sealed on Calvary   I will show the world what I believe      I will follow Christ   I will run the race   Fighting the good fight   Standing on my faith   I will wear the name of Jesus   I will give Him all my life   As for me no matter what the sacrifice   I will follow Christ
