Lyrics
Wherever I go, let Your Spirit follow me
Wherever I go, let Your Spirit follow me
If in the desert I 'll find pleasure
If in the valley, I really don't care
but I'll walk through the wilderness
They may be shadows of darknesss
but I'll, i'll not falter as long as long as you're there
Wherever I go, let Your Spirit follow me
Wherever I go, let Your Spirit follow me
If in the desert I 'll find pleasure
If in the valley,
but I really don't care
though I'll walk through the wilderness
They may be shadows of darknesss
as long as long as i know you're there
Wherever I go, let Your Spirit follow me
Wherever I go, let Your Spirit follow me

Meaning & Inspiration
“Let Your Spirit Follow Me” is a prayer for God’s presence through uncertain terrain. The repeated title line asks for the Spirit’s companionship wherever the singer goes, giving the song a simple and persistent focus. Deserts, valleys, wilderness, and shadows represent places of hardship, yet the lyrics refuse to let those conditions determine the singer’s confidence. Courage rests instead on the assurance that God is near.
The imagery closely recalls Psalm 23, especially its movement through a dark valley without fear because the Lord remains present. It also reflects the biblical theme of being led by the Spirit rather than relying only on visible circumstances. The lyric does not deny pain or danger; it places both within a prayer of trust. Its repeated petition therefore serves as both confession and dependence: difficult paths can be faced without faltering when divine presence provides direction, comfort, and endurance.
