Finale
Whoopi Goldberg & Sisters Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will follow Him
Follow Him wherever He may go
And near Him I always will be
For nothing can keep me away
He is my destiny

I will follow Him
Ever since He touched my arm I knew

There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep me away, away from His love

I love Him, I love Him, I love Him
And where He goes
I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow

I will follow Him
Follow Him wherever He may go
There isn't an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep me away

We will follow Him
(Follow Him)
Follow Him wherever He may go
There isn't an ocean too deep (too deep)
A mountain so high it can keep
Keep us away, away from His love

Oh yeah, I love Him
(Oh yes I love Him)
I'll follow
(I'm gonna follow)
True love
(He'll always be my true love)
Forever
(From now until forever)

I love Him, I love Him, I love Him
And where He goes
I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow
He'll always be my true love
My true love, my true love
From now until forever
Forever, forever

There isn't an ocean too deep

A mountain so high it can keep
Keep us away, away from His love

It’s so powerful. I used to watch this as a young Catholic school girl. It was fun to see this on the screen. I would always cry at the end. It’s so powerful, it’s a song that was in the beginning of the movie… it’s just such a great scene.

This song is so true. Even though it is secular, we cannot run away from the love of God because he pursues us even when we rejected his free gift of eternal live thru Jesus.

@1080lights

2y↑2

When you coerce with the threat of eternal punishment, that’s not a free gift.

@orangewarm1

That is what you believe

@MagnusVonBlack

@@1080lights It is not a threat. If you reject God, he will grant you your heart's desire and you will be away from Him. And away from God, there is only darkness forever. He is offering himself to you. If it was coercion, he would not give you the choice of hell. He refuses to coerce, that is why you get to decide where you spend eternity. Please consider His offer.

I love how there are people making Professor McGonegal comments on most of these videos. This movie came out WAAAAAY before the Harry Potter movies did; everyone is backwards. They should be running to clips from Harry Potter and saying "Oh, Reverend Mother! What has happened to you?!" But I guess since Harry Potter is more mainstream, it can't be helped. Still... I find that humorous somehow.

I was very close to God before delivering my second child, I loved singing to this music and within an hour of finishing this movie, we had a beautiful son, his birthday is coming up too May 22. He will be 20 years old. He knows the whole story of this movie. I also had seen the movie in January of 1993, but it did not really affect me that much.....

The Blues Brothers looking at the performance at 0:40, though just an homage by the director, makes it possible to connect the movies, and make this convent part of the one they saved in the movie.

It saddens me when I read or hear this. I understand. I do, even though I still have questions. But..do read the scriptures, especially.."PROPHECIES"..it's what did it for me. Read Revelation 13: 16-18 and compare it with what is going on today (last days) see if their plan (😷) is not in the works...
