Most of all...

Would I
have built you an ark
while others
laughed and scorned

Would I
journey to a country
one that I
had never seen before

Would I
have stepped into the red sea
despite
the wind and the waves

And bow
my head before you
while others
watch me pray

I don't have the faith of Moses
I can't proclaim the strength of Paul
but I want to follow you my savior
that's what I want
Most of all

Would I
carry my sick child
and lay him
dying at your feet

Would I
have given up my luch
so that thousands
more could eat

Would I
boldly preach your name
if it meant
I'd go to jail

Or would I
turn like the rich man
who sadly
walked away

I don't have the faith of Moses
I can't proclaim the strength of Paul
but I want
to follow you my savior
that's what I want
most of all

When you ask me if I love you
do I turn and walk with you
Or do I cling to my possessions
and make up some excuse
do I value your approval
over what my friends might say
do I grasp your nail-scarred hands
or do I turn and walk away

I don't have the faith of Moses
I can't proclaim the strength of Paul
but I want
to follow you my savior
that's what I want
most of all...
