Following Jesus and No Turning Back

“…another also said, ‘Lord, ‘I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.’ But Jesus said to him, 'No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is ‘fit for the kingdom of God.’” Luke 9:61-62

"Then Peter said, 'See, we have left all and followed You.' Luke 18:28

"Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, 'I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:12

Who will follow Jesus, in life’s busy ways,
Working for the Master, giving Him the praise;
Earnest in His vineyard, honoring His laws,
Faithful to His counsel, watchful for His cause?

Refrain

Who will follow Jesus? Who will make reply,
“I am on the Lord’s side; Master, here am I”?
Who will follow Jesus? Who will make reply,
“I am on the Lord’s side; Master, here am I!”
