Hymn - Follow close to me

I ^Gtraveled down a ^G7lonely road and ^Cno one seemed to ^Gcare; The ^Emburden on my ^A7weary back had ^D7bowed me to despair, I ^Goft complained to J^G7esus How ^Cfolk were treating ^Gme, And ^Emthen I heard Him ^Gsay so ^D7tenderl^Gy, "My ^Cfeet were also weary, Up^Gon the Calv'ry road; The ^Ccross became so ^A7heavy, I ^D7fell beneath the load, Be ^Gfaithful weary ^G7pilgrim, The ^Cmorning I can ^Gsee, Just ^Emlift your cross and ^Gfollow ^D7close to ^Gme."

"I ^Gwork so hard for ^G7Je-sus" I ^Coften boast and ^Gsay, "I've ^Emsacrificed a ^A7lot of things To ^D7walk the narrow way, I ga^Gve up fame and ^G7fortune, I'm ^Cworth a lot to ^GThee," And ^Emthen I hear Him g^Gently ^D7say to ^Gme. "I ^Cleft the throne of glory and ^Gcounted it but loss, My ^Chands were nailed in a^A7nger up^D7on a cruel cross, But n^Gow we'll make the j^G7ourney with ^Cyour hand safe in ^Gmine, So ^Emlift your cross and f^Gollow cl^D7ose to ^Gme.

Oh, J^Gesus if I d^G7ie upon a ^Cforeign field somed^Gay, 'Two^Emuld be no more than ^A7love demands No ^D7less could I repay, "No g^Greater love hath ^G7mortal man than ^Cfor a friend to d^Gie" These ^Emare the words He g^Gently ^D7spoke to ^Gme: "If ^Cjust a cup of water I ^Gplace within your hand Then j^Cust a cup of ^A7water is ^D7all that I demand," ^GBut if by death to ^G7living They ^Ccan thy glory s^Gee, I'll ^Emtake my cross and ^Gfollow ^D7close to t^Ghee.
