Lyrics
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
No turning back, no turning back.
The world behind me, the cross before me;
The world behind me, the cross before me;
The world behind me, the cross before me;
No turning back, no turning back.
Though none go with me, still I will follow;
Though none go with me, still I will follow;
Though none go with me, still I will follow;
No turning back, no turning back.
My cross I’ll carry, till I see Jesus;
My cross I’ll carry, till I see Jesus;
My cross I’ll carry, till I see Jesus;
No turning back, no turning back.
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
No turning back, no turning back.

Deciding to follow Jesus is a quiet, profound act of surrender that transforms our whole lives. When we declare 'no turning back,' we anchor our hearts in His grace rather than our own strength. Even when the road feels lonely or uncertain, the light of the cross before us assures us that Christ walks every step alongside us. Today, let this gentle refrain remind you that stepping forward with Jesus is always worth the journey.
