I Will Not Look Back

I Will Not Look Back

The children crying out with shouts of joy.

oh how they run and play

Sometimes I wish I could go back there,

Back to a life without any stresses and worries

then I remember all I have learned

all of the experiences I have been through

all of the wisdom I have gained throughout the years

all leading up to this moment...

I will not look back.

I am right where God wants me.

"For such a time as this"

I hear Him say.

I will not look back

I will keep my eyes fixed straight ahead.

I will keep my eyes locked on His.

I will not sway like the reeds blown in the lake

moving back and forth.

I will not look back.

I will stand tall and strong

Planted and grounded like the big oak trees

With their branches extended toward heaven

In constant surrender

I will not look back

I will not look back

I will not look back
