Living life to the rhythm of society
Hypnotizing melodies playing from these idolatries
Indulging in the flesh, absence of piety
Variety of godless activities causing rivalry
Chasing the world and everything that was gratifying
I was really dying but deceived like it was satisfying
My treasures were wordly pleasures, no denying
Sin seasoning the taste of death to be extremely
Appetizing Finding my worth in temporal things that
Passed away Finding my worth was temporal then
Passed away Followed my hearts desire, hollow's the
Hearts desire Chasing deluded dreams, polluted streams
Of life perspired The stench of death like a shadow
Looming over me If only there was someone who could
Break the mold that's holding me Praise be to Jesus, the
Saving Christ who took hold of me I'll follow You who
Gives the righteousness that's now upholding me
I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
No turning back, no turning back
Look at the bricks that I've built upon the beaten sand
Look at my life that was struggling with the Potter's
Hand Look at the kingdoms and the riches vast upon the
Earth Look at the amalgamation of the things I'm worth
I see the cross tear asunder all the things I've built
I see the heavens rend and wash away the miry guilt
I see the perfect sacrifice upon the splintered tree
I see the wrath, poured on You, but wasn't for me?
I throw away the legacy that I was trying to leave
I throw away the lust and passion of the things I see
I cast aside all the promises I made with flesh
I pray for resurrection from my dreams put to death
I have tasted and I've seen the glory of my King
My God of Justice, Lord of Love, in this song I sing
In surrender to the Master and his perfect plan
I throw away the world and run to where my Father
Stands!
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
I've was searching for the truth, been told that I'm so open minded.
But when I found it people laughed and said that I've been blinded.
Proclaiming Christ has given me purpose and set me on a better road
With better goals means I'm ignorant and pitiful? Huh.
I'm tryna live for the Lord, but yo I need some support.
My parents are telling me my "holy" ambitions fall short
Of their expectations and dreams for my life.
What do I do when folks around me hate the message of Christ?
Will I dishonor my family?
Why's it damaging every single relationship? I'm tired from all this battling.
Internal struggle; my thoughts are jumbled inside this jungle of a mind;
I need direction, I keep straddling this line.
In Your word, You said persecution and opposition
Is expected for those who follow Your great commission.
Harvest is plenty, workers are few
Romans 8 is in my heart; let me partner up with You!
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
