Look Back

Look back and see
How the kingdom you came from
Surrendered to your God.
Look back and see
How the blood of the lamb saved you
From the grip of death.
Look back and see
How the water that saved you
Destroyed your enemies.

But don’t look back very long,
Or you’ll return to being a slave!
Don’t look back very long –
You must look forward to get home!

Look back and see
How your God gave you water
That came from a rock.
Look back and see
How He fed you and clothed you
And healed you from disease.
Look back and see
How you’re now a holy nation,
A royal priesthood.

But don’t look back very long,
Or you’ll return to being a slave!
Don’t look back very long –
You must look forward to get home!

Look back and see
How He called you to be part of
A pure and spotless Bride.
Look back and see
How the fruit of His Spirit
Has changed who you are.
Look back and see
How the gifts His Spirit gives you
Destroy the devil’s works.

But don’t look back very long,
Or you’ll return to being a slave!
Don’t look back very long –
You must look forward to get home!
