Contemporary Christian singer and songwriter Brandon Heath, who has scored several Top 10 hits, including the number one singles, Give Me Your Eyes and I’m Not Who I Was, has released his new single, No Turning Back, a beautiful ballad about the moment one decides to make Jesus the Lord and Savior of one’s life. With beautiful harmonies provided by All Sons & Daughters, a memorable chorus, a and a simple, straightforward delivery, No Turning Back will definitely strike a chord among those dying to share the gospel with people but a little unsure of what to say.
I find the bridge particularly interesting, because it sort of leads a person through the sinner’s prayer. He invites the listener to literally, “Say I have decided to follow Jesus.” Now, if it had included an actual prayer — awareness of sin, declaration of repentance, and reliance on Jesus as Lord and Savior — that would have been INCREDIBLE. But it’s a start, eh? :)
NO TURNING BACK Lyrics
Brandon Heath
I have decided
I called out His name
I’m following Jesus now and He knows the way
I made up my mind
I leave it behind
No turning back
No turning back
I’m moving on
Not looking back
I’m giving him
All that i have
No turning back
No turning back
Though I may wander, I am not lost
So many distractions but I
I look to the cross
I made up my mind
I leave it behind
Chorus
You want to come with me?
He loves you the same
Oh, won’t you come with me?
(Oh, won’t you come with me?)
Just call out His name
(Just call out his name)
Say I have decided
(I have decided)
To follow Jesus
(To follow Jesus)
Say I have decided
(I have decided)
I’m following Jesus
No turning back
No turning back
I’m moving on (moving on)
Not looking back (moving on)
I’m giving Him (giving Him)
All that I have (all that I have)
No turning back
No turning back (no turning back)
No turning back (i’m giving Him all I have now)
No turning back (giving Him all that I have)
No turning back (there’s no turning back)
No turning back (giving Him all that I have)
No turning back
I have decided
