1.
Pwomès sa yo byen dous,
Pawòl la bon,
Li pi presie pase
Nenpòt ki lòt mesaj;
Kris te gen panse pwop,
Li san peche,
Li se pi gran egzanp ki te ka egziste.
Kè:
Lè l kondwi m m ap swiv li,
Swiv li pou toujou,
Lè l kondwi m ma swiv li.
Mwen va swiv Li pou toujou.
2.
Lanmou Jezi montre m, se mèvèye,
Pi dous pase tou sa
Lèzòm kapab panse,
Pou sa yo ki pèdi, l ape plede,
Li se pi gran egzanp ki te ka egziste.
3.
«Vini jwenn mwen» se sa l ap repete,
Pou ou genyen repo, ou menm ki fatige,
Konfye w nan pwomès Li, se asire,
Li se pi gran egzanp ki te ka egziste.
literal translation from Kreyol version:
1.
These promises are quite sweet,
The word is good,
It is more precious than
Any other message;
Christ had his clean thoughts,
He is without sin,
He is the greatest example that could exist.
Chorus:
When he leads me I will follow him,
Follow it forever,
When he leads me I follow him.
I will follow Him forever.
2.
The love Jesus showed me is wonderful,
Sweeter than anything
Man can think,
For those who are lost, he pleads,
He is the greatest example that could exist.
3.
“Come to me” is what he repeats,
To rest, you who are tired,
Trust in His promises, is assured,
He is the greatest example that could exist.
English version – Where He Leads I’ll Follow
1.
Sweet are the promises,
Kind is the word,
Dearer far than any message man ever heard;
Pure was the mind of Christ,
Sinless I see;
He the great example is, and pattern for me.
Chorus:
Where He leads I’ll follow,
Follow all the way.
Where He leads I’ll follow,
Follow Jesus ev’ry day.
2.
Sweet is the tender love
Jesus hath shown,
Sweeter far than any love that mortals have known;
Kind to the erring one,
Faithful is He;
He the great example is, and pattern for me. (Chorus)
3.
List’ to His loving words,
“Come unto Me;”
Weary, heavy-laden, there is sweet rest for thee;
Trust in His promises,
Faithful and sure;
Lean upon the Savior, and thy soul is secure. (Chorus)
