Teach me to listen, Teach me today. Help me to follow You on the way. Teach me to follow, follow You, your way. With all of my heart, With all of my soul. Not just part, All of me whole.

Teach me to follow, follow You, your way. With all of my mind, With all of my strength. For all of this journey, The road that we take. Copyright T.Eastman 2008
