If I could follow God, like my dog follows me

I would shadow all His moves and more like him I’d be

I would listen when He calls, go where He does lead

Knowing His instructions, gives me what I need

I’d trust there to be no hunger, for always I am fed

And I wouldn’t thirst, for I’d know what he has said

That I would never thirst, with Him I would not lack

He’d always care for me, and always have my back

If I could follow God like my dog, with loyalty so pure

I would love my master, with a love that is so sure

I would trust and obey, I would honor His name

I would defend Him, only for His gain

I would love Him

With everything I am

If I could follow God, like my dog follows me

I would better live my life for Him, this I can surely see

Though I am not a dog and happy that I am not

The way I watch how my dog follows, has taught me a lot

To listen when I am called, to go where He does lead

Knowing that my Master will give me what I need

He will care and love, I must just trust and obey

Follow His voice and all His word does say

For He gives me what I lack

He is the strength upon my back

I must praise and follow His Holy Name

For in His love, there I gain

Everything I need, for I cannot truly compare

For His love that always meets me here

though I am not a dog or ever wish to be

I can see things better, in this analogy

That I must always go where my God does lead

For He is my Savior, and is exactly what I need

Psalms 62:8 NIV

Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

Isaiah 46:4 NIV

Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

Psalms 23:2-3 NIV

He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
