I Will Follow
by Chris Tomlin
Theology & Meaning
With echoes of Ruth 1:16 and Jesus' call to discipleship (Luke 9:23), this song conveys total surrender. It proclaims trust in God's ways ('All Your ways are good, all Your ways are sure') drawn from Proverbs 3:5-6. Emphasizes God's sovereignty and our response of obedience.
Worship Leadership Tips
This is fitting as a response song after a sermon on following Christ or missions. Introduce it by highlighting one of Jesus' 'follow Me' invitations in Scripture.
Arrangement Tips
Consider having the congregation reflect by singing more softly in verses, then build intensity in the chorus to symbolize a firm resolve. Works well as a commissioning song.
