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
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
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…”
This song is believed to come from a man in India who chose to follow Christ despite fierce opposition. When threatened with death, he refused to renounce his faith—even as his family was executed before him. His words were not theoretical—they were costly. And yet, they were unwavering.
This hymn confronts us gently but clearly: What does it mean to follow Jesus… truly? Even when it costs?
Scripture: Luke 9:23 — “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.”
Ask yourself:
- What has following Jesus cost you?
- Where do you feel pressure to compromise your faith?
- What would unwavering obedience look like in your life?
