Brother I'll Follow You Lyrics

BROTHER I'LL FOLLOW YOU
Written by Jason Deere

From the first time you told me about
Everything you had seen
We were just boys, but there was no doubt
That in my heart I believed
That brother I'd follow you
Into a hailstorm of an angry town
With words like jagged knives
Every stone was meant to bring you down
Something you'd know all your life
And brother I'll follow you

Rain or shine...fire and ice
With faith like iron
You walk right on through
And brother I'll follow you
Into Ohio, a new northern town
Not knowing just what lies in store
Hearts were changing the Saints we grew
As our hands built the House Of Our Lord
And brother I'll follow you
Into a cold night our children cried
Driven further west
And out of a swamp our hands built up Navuoo
And we prayed in the Lord we'd find rest
And brother we followed you

Rain or shine...fire and ice
With faith like iron
You walked right on through
And brother I'll follow you
Into a building of sand, stone and steel
With faith like a rock you walked in
And at the end yours eyes looked into mine
With the love of a life-long friend
And yes, brother, I'll follow you

Rain or shine...fire and ice
With faith like iron
You walked right on through
And brother I'll follow you
