26. My Choice

1 Others may choose this vain world if they will,
I will follow Jesus;
All else forsaking, will cleave to Him still,
I will follow Him.

Chorus:
Whensoever He needs me,
Wheresoever He leads me,
Whatsoever He bids me do,
I will be true to Jesus.

2 Fully and freely the choice I have made,
I will follow Jesus;
All on the altar for Him I have laid,
I will follow Him. [Chorus]

3 Walking by faith where my eyes cannot see,
I will follow Jesus,
Holding the hand that was wounded for me,
I will follow Him. [Chorus]

4 Fairest of all in ten thousand is He,
I will follow Jesus;
Till in His glory the King I shall see,
I will follow Him. [Chorus]
