1. First, here's the story behind the song: * "I Have Decided To Follow Jesus" is a Christian hymn originating from Assam, in north-east India. * The lyrics are based on the last words of a man of hindu background who became a disciple of Jesus Christ. * The man came to believe in Jesus after a Welsh missionary brought the Gospel to him in the 19th century. * The village chief of the place where he lived called him to renounce his faith or be killed. * The man prefered to die rather than to deny Christ. His wife was killed and he became a martyr. * He was proclaiming the lyrics of this song while being executed. * The composition of the hymn is attributed to the Indian missionary Sadhu Sundar Singh (1889-1929). * American hymnist William Jensen Reynolds made a notable arrangement of this hymn in 1959. * Reynold's version was popularized during Billy Graham's crusades and it's the most spread version. * The Spanish version of this hymn is called "He decidido seguir a Cristo." 2.
