Follow God

On this song, the third track from Kanye West's long awaited album Jesus is King, he revisits the spiritual themes of his February 2016 track, “Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1.” On the soulful track, Kanye flips a sample of Whole Truth’s 1974 track, “Can You Lose By Following God” to discuss the way he struggles to live a religious life and follow God’s direction in face of the difficulties that God presents.
