Don’t Look Back

Don’t Look Back, but just ahead, when by The Shepherd we are lead,

Once our hands are on that plow, let the Lord fill your heart with wow,

Looking towards what God will do, as the past He’s seen us through,

So do not allow your faith to lack, when in your heart, you look back.



When tempted to look back instead, we’ll be simply filled with dread,

Not looking to the One in control, we shall waver and sometimes fall.

God may be working in those we know, to help them and us to grow,

As we journey on unplowed ground, only in God is true peace found.



We must plow ahead in faith and trust, as God above leads all of us,

And when we do face a setback, Christ, provides that peace we lack.

We can't turn to the left or right, but, rely on God’s Power and Might,

To deliver us from the darkest place, through the power of His Grace.



In faith, we can all move forward, with our eyes focused on our Lord,

Not upon anybody or anything, but, steadfastly upon Christ our King,

Who presently reigns in our heart, and from our lives He won’t depart,

As He guides us straight and true, in any situation all the way through.



We could plow through any fire, when God’s Will becomes our desire,

Coming through them truly purified, with Christ our Savior by our side,

And as Believers, being Spirit lead, we’ll move for Him straight ahead,

While on our way to Heaven above, strengthened truly by God’s Love.
