I will not look back on the things left behind

He chose me to follow Him

There were so many others

That He might have chosen to follow Him

Others with learning and greater distinction to follow Him

Men with authority and forceful ability

Who know how to speak and be heard (yes, Master)

I don't know exactly why I'm here at all

But today, I follow my Lord

You know, it was business as usual for me

That day 'til I heard Him say

"Follow me," (follow me)

I left all behind me when Jesus said

"Follow me," (follow me)

I emptied myself of my old life completely

With no thought that this could be wrong (yes, Master)

And as long as I follow the steps of the Master

I know I'm where I belong

For He chose me

He chose me

I could not say no when He said, "Follow me

And you'll be a fisher of men," (yes, Lord, yes)

And from now on (forevermore)

And from now on

I will not look back on the things left behind

He chose me to follow Him

I will not look back on the things left behind

He chose me to follow Him (yes, He did)

He chose me

He chose me

He chose me to follow Him
