This song was a long-distance collaboration between Mark Ellis and me. He sent me his lyric (based, of course, on Psalm 23) and I sent back a midi arrangement. After a few tweaks and rendering the midi to audio, we had a song!
I Will Follow You
Ch.
I will follow You, oh Lord,
For You are the Shepherd of my soul,
I will follow You, oh Lord,
Wherever you may lead I will go.
1.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul.
Ch.
I will follow You, oh Lord,
For You are the Shepherd of my soul,
I will follow You, oh Lord,
Wherever you may lead I will go.
2.
The LORD is my shepherd; He leadeth me
In the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
Ch.
I will follow You, oh Lord,
For You are the Shepherd of my soul,
I will follow You, oh Lord,
Wherever you may lead I will go.
Br.
For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil;
3.
The LORD is my shepherd; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever,
The house of the LORD for ever.
Ch.
I will follow You, oh Lord,
For You are the Shepherd of my soul,
I will follow You, oh Lord,
Wherever you may lead I will go.
I will follow You, oh Lord,
For You are the Shepherd of my soul,
I will follow You, oh Lord,
Wherever you may lead I will go.
