I Have Decided to Follow Jesus

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 none go with me, I still will follow;

though none go with me, I still will follow;

though none go with me, 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.

I don't think this song was in any of our hymnals. Mostly we sang this when we would have a "devo" (devotional) when I was in college. It's easy to make up verses as you go -- one improvisational verse I remember was "My cross I'll carry till I see Jesus."
