Follow Me
Casting Crowns' song "Follow Me" is a call to discipleship and surrender. The lyrics depict someone at the end of their own strength, feeling empty, ashamed, and judged. Jesus responds by inviting them to leave behind their old ways, stones of condemnation, and self-reliance, and to follow Him. The song references biblical scenes like the calling of the fishermen and the thief on the cross, emphasizing forgiveness, new life, and eternal salvation through faith in Christ. It encourages listeners to let go of everything and trust in Jesus, who is the promised Son of God.
At the end of myself
I'm empty and dry
I have nothing to give
But surrender inside
Let down your nets
This is not the end
From now on, you'll be
Fishers of men
Follow Me
Follow Me
Follow Me
Follow Me
At the end of myself
Judgment calls out my name
I've been looking for love
But I'm swallowed by shame
Throw away all your stones
Find forgiveness in Me
Let Me be your new passion
My daughter, you're free
At the end of myself
I've done things my own way
This world gave up on me
Now it's death I do pay
You know who I am
I'm sins sacrifice
Today you will be
In paradise
Who is this man who calmed the seas
And who is this man who loves the least of these
I am the promised One
God gave His only Son
And those who believe
Will live eternally
At the end of yourself, just follow Me
If you lose everything, just follow Me
I will give you new life, just follow Me
Follow Me
If at the end of yourself, just follow Me
You may lose everything, just follow Me
I will give you new life, just follow Me
Follow Me
