While they sourced the anonymous song, ” I Have Decided to Follow Jesus” from the collection, Songs of Praise from the Word of God movement, the Dominican Fathers showed they knew how to play the game by transcribing their own arrangement and claiming copyright.
There are many variations on the text, with word order changing all over the place – below is the PTG version. It may be of Indian origin.
The sheet music is here.
Do we decide?
1 I have decided to follow Jesus.
I have decided to follow Jesus.
I have decided to follow Jesus.
No turning back, no turning back!2 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!3 The cross before me, the world behind me.
The cross before me, the world behind me.The cross before me, the world behind me.
No turning back, no turning back.
