This hymn has been on repeat in my mind the past few days. Unfortunately I had a hard time finding any non-cheesy versions on youtube to share with you. Phil Wickham has a nice rendition on his album "Singalong"
I think the simple repetition and sincerity of this is what gets me every time. There is no desire of "turning back" to the emptiness of worldly things once you've experienced the fullness of life in Christ. Seriously.
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
No turning back, no turning back.
Though I may wonder, I still will follow;
Though I may wonder, I still will follow;
Though I may wonder, I still will follow;
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.
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

whenever i think about this song i sing it through my head in spanish. too me it just makes things so much clearer, not sure why. i guess the simple fact that Christ goes beyond all cultures, nations, languages, and peoples draws me even closer to him. it's a great hymn. thanks for the reminder.
