At the end of the day my heart's filled with despair I knelt by my bed for a moment of prayer I asked God to help me and show me the way Then out of the darkness a voice seemed to say Follow me and your sins will be washed snowy white Follow me to the streets that are paved with pure gold Follow me and your darkness would turn into light You'll see riches and treasures untold I was lost in a world filled with doubt and the shame Each day brought me tears that I'd fall by the way Then out of the rocks and the caverns they came A voice that somehow seemed to say Follow me and your load will be lighter to bear Follow and your heart will be free from all care Follow me and I'll make you a place with him there if you would just follow me
