Following the Steps of Jesus

1 Do you, day by day, life’s path pursue,
Following the steps of Jesus?
To the great example are you true,
Following the steps of Jesus?

Following the steps of Jesus,
Following the steps of Jesus,
Pressing on in faith and love,
Will you gain the home above,
Following the steps of Jesus?

2 Are you all the way resisting sin,
Following the steps of Jesus?
Are you seeking souls from death to win,
Following the steps of Jesus? [Refrain]

Following the steps of Jesus? [Refrain]

4 Are you laying every weight aside,
