Follow You - Leeland.

I haven't been blogging lately, but I will start again once I crank out these two midterms on Wednesday. Yesterday, I got back from a retreat (Summit) with the Christian group I joined on campus (Campus For Christ, if you must know it is the Canadian branch of Campus Crusade For Christ). Anyways, I was really convicted over the weekend to not be scared to talk to others about the gospel. God was really working in my heart to talk to my closest friends back home. With that, all the things that are happening the South Pacific, my hearts are really going out to them and I can't wait to visit my relatives next summer. But I'm posting this song that is close to my heart because it talks about the poor and the needy that need help around the world. The victims of the typhoon, earthquake, and the tsunami aren't the only people in the world being affected with not only poverty, but the message of Jesus Christ. I'm hoping to go on the missions trip to the Dominican Republic set up by the youth group at my church next summer. God wants to use me and I will let him have His way.

Leeland featuring Brandon Heath - Follow You

You lived among the least of these
The weary and the weak
And it would be a tragedy for me to turn away.

All my needs You have supplied.
When I was dead You gave me life.
How could I not give it away so freely?

And I'll follow You into the homes that are broken.
Follow You into the world.
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy God.
Follow You into the World.

Use my hands, use my feet
To make Your kingdom come
Through the corners of the earth
Until Your work is done
'Cause Faith without works is dead
And on the cross Your blood was she'd
So how could I not give it away so freely?

And I'll follow You into the homes that are broken.
Follow You into the world.
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy God.
Follow You into the World.

I give all myself.
I give all myself
I give all myself... to You.

And I give all myself.
Yes, I give all myself.
And I give all myself... to You.

And I'll follow You into the homes that are broken
Follow You into the world.
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy God.
Follow You into the World.

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. [1 John 3:16]
