1. Will you come and follow me
If I but call your name?
Will you go where you don’t know
And never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown,
Will you let my name be known,
Will you let my life be grown
In you and you in me?

2. Will you leave yourself behind
If I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind
And never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare
Should your life attract or scare?
Will you let me answer pray’r
In you and you in me?

3. Will you let the blinded see
If I but call your name?
Will you set the pris’ners free
And never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean,
And do such as this unseen,
And admit to what I mean
In you and you in me?

4. Will you love the ‘you’ you hide
If I but call your name?
Will you quell the fear inside
And never be the same?
Will you use the faith you’ve found
To reshape the world around,
Through my sight and touch and sound
In you and you in me?

5. Lord, your summons echoes true
When you but call my name.
Let me turn and follow you
And never be the same.
In your company I’ll go
Where your love and footsteps show.
Thus I’ll move and live and grow
In you and you in me.

I love being catholic! The church put my pink bow on a scarlet red table cloth and that is OK nobody is perfect. I will hopefully be in church everyday until God calls me home. My father Abba. I am so happy. Thank you Jesus! I love you.

I was baptized in my Church with this song sung in the background. It was one of those very special moments in my life where I’ll never forget. It’s amazing how one song like this could bring back the feelings and memories of that day. Once in a while when I hear this song sung at a different church, I would get very emotional and touched and I may just cry...thank you Jesus for your never ending mercy and love. I will forever love You.

Amen and Amen! My dear Lord, I am very ready to follow you if you call me. I am ready to go where I don't know and reach those in great need of your love and let your name be known. Use me in any way you want. Try me Lord and know my heart. Lord even if you ❤assign me what people find is impossible, I am confident of fulfilling it to the end...for I know you are always at work in me...and you will always remain in me and with me in all the seasons of my life. Prepare and make use of me Lord. I am ready to do your will. Jesus, I trust in you.

I was Ordained to the Sacred Priesthood 13/08/2022. This hymn is all i needed to start my priestly duties in the Parish of my first appointment. Thank you Lord for calling my name.

One of the most beautiful Catholic songs! I choose this song to be played at my beloved grandmother's funeral as a reminder to all that we must seek HIM first and Always above all things. Lord Jesus come, Blessed be your Holy Name!

Simply beautiful ✍🏻🗣❤️ A precious memory singing this gorgeous ‘ Will You Come And Follow Me?’ with the congregation of Saint Bernadette’s Erskine one sunny Sunday morning in March. I’d only come to know this stunningly beautiful hymn not long before my journey to their Spiritually uplifting Alpha gathering . This beauty always makes me smile and sing 😊🎵 Thanks Holy Spirit 🕯🌹

This was the offering song for our ordination mass when I was ordained as a Deacon in the Catholic Church. During that mass I laid prostrate before the altar and the cross of Jesus. Two years ago my wife and I visited St. Peter's in Rome and I had the opportunity to stand in the place where ordinations take place in Rome. What I experienced is that place in Rome is directly over the tomb of St. Peter. Every Good Friday when I lay prostrate before the altar I know and experience how I am connected to St. Peter. I cannot sing this song at mass because I just cannot compose myself without being emotionally affected by by all of the grace that I experience in that song.

I am currently having issues with doubts of my faith but have been slowly come back to believing in God and this song strikes me good because when I contemplate going fully into God I feel as if these are the words God speaks to me

Holy Spirit said to me a few nights ago, "ASK to be in His life, JESUS' life." "You've asked HIM into yours, but ask to be in HIS. Theres more." So l did! Hope it goes well... being HIS hands and feet are one thing. If HE lets you be HIS heart, hang on with both hands.... This is the MEANING OF LIFE, you know. John 8:29. 11/3/22
