Voices only: ‘I Have Decided to Follow Jesus’
Welcome to Voices only, your source for great a cappella.
Here’s an upbeat-yet-too-high-for-me-to-sing rendition of “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus,” attributed to missionary and hymn writer Simon Marak. Jehovah Shalom Acapella brings us this version.
We’ve featured the Ugandan group several times in Voices only. They consistently put our quality songs.
This hymn has special meaning for me. On the cold Sunday evening when I went forward to be baptized at the Southside Church of Christ in Macon, Ga., I heard the congregation singing this song as I got ready to be immersed in the ice-cold baptistery. (The heater wasn’t working.)
I was 14, and I had heard the hymn countless times before. But, in that moment, the simple hymn was heavy with meaning for me. “That’s me now,” I thought to myself. “I’m the one that just decided!”
