I'll Not Turn Back

I’ll Not Turn Back

Words by General John Gowans

Music by General John Larsson

If Crosses come, if it should cost me dearly

To be the servant of my Servant Lord;

If darkness falls around the path of duty,

And men despise the Savior I adore.

I’ll not turn back, whatever it may cost;

I’m called to live, to love and save the lost.

I’ll not turn back, whatever it may cost;

I’m called to live, to love and save the lost.

If doors should close then other doors will open,

The word of God can never be contained.

His love cannot be finally frustrated,

By narrow minds or prison bars retrained.

If tears should fall, if I am called to suffer,

If all I love men should deface, defame,

I’ll not deny the One that I have followed,

Nor be ashamed to bear my Master’s name
