Many songs sung by the Sudanese choir have familiar melodies, taken from traditional hymns. Of course, in order to fit their words into the song, they sometimes have to take liberties with the music. This song is easily recognizable as the traditional ‘I Have Decided To Follow Jesus’
I have decided to follow Jesus (3x)
No turning back, no turning back.
The world behind me, the cross before me (3x)
No turning back, no turning back.
Though none go with me, still I will follow (3x)
No turning back, no turning back.
I will decide now to follow Jesus (3x)
No turning back, no turning back.
I will love my Lord with all my heart (3x)
No turning back, no turning back.
I have decided with all my heart to follow Jesus (3x)
No turning back, no turning back.
