Follow Him (Remix)

Track Summary
This track is aimed at reminding people that earthly possessions will fade; what is most important is salvation. Matthew 6:33 says “Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” This track can be summarized by Mark 8:34-37 - ‘Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, he [Jesus] said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?’

Lyrics
Kay.O: Kay.O and Flare in the building oh! Hey, remix, remix, remix, yeah!

Verse 1
Kay.O: No more hiding no more running from the truth
The time has come for you to face the truth
Are you willing to deny yourself for him?
To turn your back away from sin
Why you fight Drop the pride, just let it go
You gotta die to live for you to follow
Has the world blind your eyes thatyou cannot see?
Or you can't be asked to carry your cross?
You say you’re followers of Christ, but your actions differ
Man lets forget ourselves and cling unto our true master
We must die daily as we give our all to him
Let go of worldly things, take up your cross and follow him because

Chorus
Kay.O: If you try to hang on to your life surely you will loose it
But if you give yourself up for the his sake and the gospel you'll save it
What good is it for a man to gain the world, yet loose his soul?
Let go of worldly things take up your cross and follow him

Follow him Follow him take up your cross and follow him (x4)

Verse 2
Kay.O: Pause stop, and realise
Lord take away the veil that's blocking our eyes
Is anything worth more then your soul?
What will you gain if you loose your soul?

Flare: (think about it, uh, uh, bring the verse back!)

Kay.O: Matthew 10: 38 -39;
What do you see when you read those lines?
If you are ashamed of Jesus Christ
He'll be ashamed of you when he returns
You say you’re followers of Christ but your actions differ
Man lets forget ourselves and cling unto our true master
We must die daily as we give our all to him
Let go of worldly things,, take up your cross and follow him because

Chorus
Kay.O: If you try to hang on to your life surely you will loose it
But if you give yourself up for the his sake and the gospel you'll save it
What good is it for a man to gain the world, yet loose his soul?
Let go of worldly things take up your cross and follow him

Follow him Follow him take up your cross and follow him (x4)

Verse 3
Intro
Flare: Act like Jesus is on Twitter; Follow, follow! Yeah!

Flare: Is anything worth more than your soul?
Would you trade it for silver or gold?
Or, how about some success and fame?
To have everyone in d world screaming out your name, hey!
Don't go storing up earthly treasures
Seeking things for momentary pleasures
Easy to go astray, so take measures
To gain salvation, that'll last you forever
1 John 2:16; put it this way
these fading things are the cause of your strife
For all that is in the world, is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life (its all vanity)
Possessions aren't wrong, I got a few things
But watch out for the distraction that they bring
Everyone owns a little something, but its worth NOTHING if it don't bring glory to the King
There's great gain to be found in being content and godly
Live a life that brings him glory
Jesus came to earth to save you
And died to free you from sins you were slaves to
If something makes you sin then make it no more
The spirit and the flesh are always at war,
So deny yourselves, pick up your cross and follow him
To live is Christ and to die is gain!

Bridge
Kay.O: Will you take up your cross and will you follow? Will you follow? (x4)

Chorus
Kay.O: If you try to hang on to your life surely you will loose it
But if you give yourself up for the his sake and the gospel you'll save it
What good is it for a man to gain the world, yet loose his soul?
Let go of worldly things take up your cross and follow him

Follow him, Follow him; Take up your cross and follow him (x4)
