Surely not, Lord!

Follow, follow, follow Jesus -
all the way I'll follow him!
Hear him teaching,
see him healing -
surely Christ the Son of God!

Someone here will soon betray you?
Surely not, Lord! No one here!
You can trust us
to be with you -
you are Christ the Son of God!

Follow, follow, follow Jesus -
all the way I'll follow him!
Hear him teaching,
see him healing -
surely Christ the Son of God!

People out there want to kill you?
Surely not, Lord! Not out there
when the people
really know you
as the Christ the Son of God!

Follow, follow, follow Jesus -
all the way I'll follow him!
Never killing,
only thrilling
to the Christ the Son of God!

Who is he who will betray you,
or deny you, or forsake you?
Who is he...
or is it me?
Surely not, Lord! Is it me?
