V1
I am commanded to love my neighbor
To have compassion on every broken heart
To shine the light of grace and be a friend to sinners
If I would follow Jesus, this is where it starts
CH
As Christ did, so will I
As Christ lived, my deepest cry
As Christ gave, I lay down my life
As Christ did, so will I
V2
I am commanded to share the gospel
To bring the kingdom to every desperate soul
To tell this fallen world their hope is in the Savior
If I would follow Jesus, I will gladly go
CH
V3
I am commanded my cross to carry
To pour my life out, there is no higher call
To count it joy to know the fellowship of suffering
If I would follow Jesus, I must give my all
V4
I am commanded and this my answer
Lord find me faithful to willingly obey
To be your hands and feet wherever you may lead me
If I would follow Jesus, ever will I say
CH
