இயேசுவின் பின்னே போகத் துணிந்தேன்
I have decided to follow Jesus
‘I Have Decided to Follow Jesus’ is a Christian hymn originating from India. The lyrics are based on the last words of a man in Garo, Assam.
About 150 years ago, there was a great revival in Wales. As a result of this, many missionaries came to north-east India to spread the Gospel. The region known as Assam was comprised of hundreds of tribes who were primitive and aggressive head-hunters
Into these hostile and aggressive communities, came a group of missionaries from the American Baptist Missions spreading the message of love, peace and hope in Jesus Christ. Naturally, they were not welcomed. One missionary succeeded in converting a man, his wife, and two children. This man’s faith proved contagious and many villagers began to accept Christianity.
Angry, the village chief summoned all the villagers. He then called the family who had first converted to renounce their faith in public or face execution. Moved by the Holy Spirit, the man said:
“I have decided to follow Jesus.”
Enraged at the refusal of the man, the chief ordered his archers to arrow down the two children. As both boys lay twitching on the floor, the chief asked, “Will you deny your faith? You have lost both your children. You will lose your wife too.”

1. இயேசுவின் பின்னே
போகத் துணிந்தேன்
பின்னோக்கேன் நான்
பின்னோக்கேன் நான்
2. உலகம் என் பின்னே
சிலுவை என் முன்னே
3. கஷ்டம் என் இன்பம்
நஷ்டம் என் லாபம்
4. என் மீட்பர் பாதை
என்றும் பின் செல்வேன்
