I Wouldn't Go Back

Ray Boltz


I wouldn't go back, I wouldn't go back 
I wouldn't go back 
To that life I used to live 
I wouldn't go back 
I'm never going back again 

That's all behind me 
So don't you remind me 
It's all too vivid in my mind 
I wouldn't go back 
To that life I used to live 
I chose to leave it all behind 

Lead me on, lead me on 
Whatever it takes 
Oh Lord, lead me on 

I wouldn't go back 
To that life I used to live 
Before the night I knelt 
And asked God to forgive me 
Oh, the pain I felt, the tears I shed, 
The loneliness inside 
I wouldn't go back 
I wouldn't go back, not I 

I still recall that night one Fall 
How close I came to ending my life 
Just before You came 
Lying on my bed 
The ceiling over my head kept screaming 
" Who are you anyway?" 
What could I say? 
Sitting in my living room 
Tears streaming down my face 
Life was such a waste 'til I met You 

Jesus! I wouldn't go back 
I wouldn't go back 
Never again, never again, never again, no 
I wouldn't go back 
To that life I used to live 
I wouldn't go back, I wouldn't go back 
I'll never go back 
I'll never go back 
I'm never going back again
