22. Following the Steps of Jesus

1 Do you, day by day, life’s path pursue,
Following the steps of Jesus?
To the great example are you true,
Following the steps of Jesus?

Refrain:
Following the steps of Jesus,
Following the steps of Jesus,
Pressing on in faith and love,
Will you gain the home above,
Following the steps of Jesus?

2 Are you all the way resisting sin,
Following the steps of Jesus?
Are you seeking souls from death to win,
Following the steps of Jesus? [Refrain]

3 Are you witnessing to saving grace,
Following the steps of Jesus?
Are you faithful in the Christian race,
Following the steps of Jesus? [Refrain]

4 Are you laying every weight aside,
Following the steps of Jesus?
Are you keeping close unto your guide,
Following the steps of Jesus? [Refrain]
