Chris deSilva has been very involved with the RCIA in Perth and this song certainly relates to that ministry. It also would be a good recessional (esp vs 2&4) with its focus on discipleship.
The sheet music is here at his website.
You could learn it by singing along to my backing.
Refrain
We are answering the call of Jesus,
Seeking to follow his way.
Daring to be loving and faithful
In everything we do and say.Verse 1
There is a road that we must travel,
The Gospel guiding us at every turn.
Jesus will lead us on our journey;
The way ahead he helps us to discern.Verse 2
In Jesus’ footsteps we will follow,
For he must be our leader and our guide.
His simple life of loving service
Inspires us to put an end to pride.Verse 3
Our selfish habits must be ended,
So we can turn our lives away from sin.
Our daily acts of love and kindness
Are outward signs of changes deep within.Verse 4
Called to be members of Christ’s Body,
With truth and justice our priority;
We spend our time in prayer and witness
Supported by our parish family.Final Refrain
We are answering the call of Jesus,
Seeking to follow his way.
Daring to be loving and faithful
In everything we do and say;
We are growing to be more like him each day.
