I almost gave up
Thought I’d had enough
Got right to the end
You talked me out of it
Got lost in the dark
Got tossed in the storm
You spoke to the wind
And brought me out of it
I’m not forsaken
You’re never leaving
And I’ll keep on moving
Forward With You
Let’s go (3x)
Wherever You lead, I’ll follow x3
With you the future’s to live for
Let’s go (3x)
Wherever You lead, I’ll follow x3
Oh Oh
No turning back
Had tears in my eyes
Had doubt in my mind
Nevertheless, nevertheless
You talked me out of it
I thought I was trapped
Was sinking so fast
Your unfailing love
Lifted me out of it
I’m not forsaken
You’re never leaving
And I’ll keep on moving
Forward with you
I’ve come into the Kingdom
For such a time as this
You have a plan and purpose
That I don’t wanna miss
My destiny is certain
My future’s in your hands
Jesus I will follow you
No turning back
No turning back
(repeat)
I have decided
To follow Jesus
No turning back
Oh oh, no turning back
(repeat)
Though none go with me
Still I will follow
No turning back
Oh oh, no turning back
(repeat)
The cross before me
The world behind me
No turning back
Oh oh, no turning back
(repeat)
This cross I’ll carry
Till I see Jesus
(repeat 6x)
Oh oh, no turning back
