Following.....




So why is my blog named... "The Hastings are Following Up That Hill"? Funny you should ask...(smile). Back before I even started to think about a "blog"...but was using Brandon's site as my emotional outlet, I heard a song from Bebo Norman titled..."Yes I Will". It struck such a chord in my head and heart (big thing when that happens) that I would listen to it over and over again. Worshipping, healing, and gleaning from the very words he was singing. So it was at that point, the name of my blog was born. I feel that it was so fitting on that day, and still today. And to be honest, I will still be following Jesus up any hill all the days of my life. I love you Jesus so much for making the way, and for holding my hand as we walk up that hill!

In the passion of Your sacrifice
I saw the prophecy fulfilled
The Healer of the world, the wounded Christ
I heard You say, come follow me
So I will, yes I will

Follow You Jesus, all the way up that hill
I will follow you
Follow You Jesus, all the way up that hill
To the cross where the river runs
Crimson even still, yes I will
Follow You Lord. Follow you, I will Yes I will

On the sacred path, You bled for us
Scorned and broken, up that hill
How terrible the cross, how glorious
I heard You say, come follow me
So I will, So I will, yes I will, yes I will
Follow You Jesus, all the way up that hill
I will follow you

Follow You Jesus, all the way up that hill
To the cross where the river runs
Crimson even still, yes I will
Follow You Lord. Follow you, I will Yes I will

Will I stumble in the darkness?
In my weakness, when I feel afraid
Hear me Jesus, Hear me Jesus, when I call Your name
Oh help me Lord, won't You help me Lord
Please help me Lord
Would you help me Lord

Follow You Jesus, all the way up that hill
I will follow you
Follow You Jesus, all the way up that hill
To the cross where the river runs
Crimson even still, yes I will
Follow You Lord. Follow you, I will

Follow You Jesus, all the way up that hill
I will follow you
Follow You Jesus, all the way up that hill
To the cross where the river runs
Crimson even still, yes I will
Follow You Lord. Follow you, I will
I will, I will, yes I will, yes I will

Help me Jesus, when I feel afraid
