Follow me, follow me, leave your home
and family, leave your fishing nets
and boats upon the shore.
Leave the seed that you have sown,
leave the crops that you`ve grown,
leave the people you have known and follow me.
1. The foxes have their holes and the swallows
have their nests, but the Son of man has
no place to lay down.
I do not offer comfort, I do not offer wealth,
but in me will all happiness be found. <Refrein>
2. If you would follow me, you must leave
old ways behind, you must take my cross
and follow on my path.
You may be far from loved ones, you may
be far from home, but my Father will
welcome you at last. <Refrein>
