"Follow the Lord"- its a JAM! A Conviction! A MISSION! What do we all try to do as Christians? follow the Lord! He told us to carry our cross and follow him (Matt 16:24). We are to imitate his relationship with his father God and follow him as fishers of men! But following Jesus isn't always easy!

I have had some deep struggles on my walk with Him, but He has been faithful. And I rejoice in the life He has given me! We all can find life to the full in Him!

I want to thank the incredible people that helped make this song come to life:
The song was first inspired by a women's night lesson to be taught by Lory Demshar. I was asked to lead a song that evening; I knew the title for the lessons was "Follow the Lord"- and this hook just descended like an angel from heaven onto my head on the car ride to church that evening. By the time I got there, I had the first verse and chorus. I immediately sang it to Lory who heard the Spirit and directed me to teach it immediately to the women theere that evening.

After chatting with one of my voice students, Crystyna Cooney, that week in her lesson- she suggested I write more verses, which I did- and then I wrote a full SATB vocal arrangement and soon I taught it soon to our worship team! Then I decided this should go on my new album, and while driving again I got this inspiration to put a "We Will Rock You" beat at the beginning and add a gospel choir! And it wasn't till shortly before I flew to Black Mountain to record it that I wrote the break down bridge!

Neal Merrick Blackwood was producer/ engineer/ drums & Percussion- He is stellar! One of my new heroes! He makes me shine! THANK YOU!

Chris Rosser on Piano/ organ/ electric guitar is SOOO very musical! THANK YOU!
Zack Page didd a fantastic job on bass and is such a joy to work with- THANK YOU!
Singers of this project include: Max Dasher (American fame) and Jeanie Grindstaff (Touring singer)- both were so much fun to sing with! Great ears! THANK YOU!

The Brighter Day Community Chorus went above and beyond singing all the parts for this and "Our Sweetest Gift" in one very long session! You ROCKED! THANK YOU!

A special shout out to Rich Evans who predicted this song would be a hit!
