I Wouldnt Go Back lyrics

I Wouldn`t Go Back

Words and Music by Lawrence Chewning

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
