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 prayer 

     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.
