CALL TO WORSHIP               Jacques Plante                               Scott Millett

One   I will follow Him,
Many FOLLOW HIM WHEREVER HE MAY GO,

One   And near Him, I always will be,
Many FOR NOTHING CAN KEEP ME AWAY, HE IS MY DESTINY.

One   I will follow Him,
Many EVER SINCE HE TOUCHED MY HEART I KNEW,

One   There isn't an ocean too deep,
Many NO MOUNTAIN SO HIGH IT CAN KEEP ME AWAY FROM

          HIS LOVE.

One   I love Him, I love Him, I love Him,
Many AND WHERE HE GOES, I'LL FOLLOW, I'LL FOLLOW,

          I'LL FOLLOW.

One   He'll always be our Savior, our Savior, our Savior,

Many FROM NOW UNTIL FOREVER, FOREVER, FOREVER, AMEN.
