The last song in the music folio, We Follow Jesus, is the title track.
Like the rest of the collection it is a fine pop song that will find a use in schools, but would also work as a recessional.
The sheet music is available at his site for $A20, but many schools just purchase the intranet licence to access all his songs.
It would be more singable in a lower key – F down to D at least – all these songs are in a good key for John Burland to sing, but us groaners are going to struggle.
1 Jesus with your arms open wide
I know that you’re always there through the night
Jesus with your arms open wide
Yes I know you reach out to invite
Even when I’m on my own
I will never feel alone
You are always here
You are always hereChorus
We follow Jesus through the night and day
We follow Jesus and live in His way
We follow Jesus and we can say
We believe we belong in His love
We follow Jesus Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah
We follow Jesus Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah
We follow
2 Jesus with your arms open wide
I know that you’re love for me will never end
Jesus with your arms open wide
Yes I know you are always my friend
Even when some days are bad
You’re with me and I’m so glad
You are always here
You are always hereChorus
We follow Jesus through the night and day
We follow Jesus and live in his way
We follow Jesus and we can say
We believe, we belong in His love
We follow Jesus Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah
We follow Jesus Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah
We follow Jesus Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah
We follow Jesus Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah© 2023 John Burland and Phil Anquetil
