KA HAWI KIR LO’NG: REV. SIMON MARAK

  

I have decided to follow Jesus ;(3x)

No turning back, no turning back.

The world behind me, the cross before me ;(3x)

No turning back, no turning back.

Though none go with me, still I will follow ;(3x)

No turning back, no turning back.

With no doubt follow, and receive the crown ;(3x)

No turning back, no turning back.
