God Has Decided

Be reminded of what God has done for you today.  Below you find a portion of a blog post from Zac Hicks explaining this song:

It is this same impulse that led us to take a beloved sung prayer like “I Have Decided,” turn it on its head, and re-give it to the Church. How will people actually be motivated to love and follow God, to commit to Him, and to not turn back? Well, the counter-intuitive message of the gospel is that it isn’t by singing about what we’re doing for God, but by what God has done for us. Our security in being able to follow God is grounded in the surety that God first followed us. He tracked us down when we were running hard, He defeated us, and He raised us to life. And so we sing:
God has decided to save my lost soul…No turning back, no turning back.

Christ has decided to die in my place…No turning back, no turning back.

The Holy Spirit now lives inside me…No turning back, no turning back.

The love of God will forever hold me….He won’t let go, He won’t let go.                       No turning back, no turning back.
