COVENANT HYMN LYRICS (by Rory Cooney) 
 
Wherever you go, I will follow, 
Wherever you live is my home. 
Though days be of blessing or sorrow, 
Though house be of canvas or stone, 
Though Eden be lost to the past, 
Though mountains before us be vast, 
Wherever you go, I am with you. 
I never will leave you alone. 
 
Whatever you dream, I am with you, 
When stars call your name in the night. 
Though shadows and mist cloud the future, 
Together we bear there a light. 
Like Abram and Sarah we stand, 
With only a promise in hand. 
But lead where you dream: I will follow. 
To dream with you is my delight. 
 
And though you should fall, you will find me, 
When no other friend can you claim, 
When foes beat you down or betray you, 
And others desert you in shame. 
When home and dreams aren’t enough, 
And you run away from my love, 
I’ll raise you from where you have fallen. 
"Faithful to you" is my name. 
 
Wherever you die, I will be there 
To sing you to sleep with a psalm, 
To soothe you with tales of our journey, 
Your fears and your doubts I will calm. 
We’ll live when journeys are done 
Forever in mem’ry as one. 
And we will be buried together, 
And waken to greet a new dawn. 
 
Wherever you go, I will follow. 
Behold! The horizon shines clear. 
The possible gleams like a city: 
Together we’ve nothing to fear. 
So speak with words bold and true 
The message my heart speaks to you. 
You won’t be alone, I have promised. 
Wherever you go, I am here.
