Verse 1
This old world is almost gone,
Zoar’s burning for it’s wrong
So lift your eyes to the hills and don’t look back!
Though battalions form behind
And you’re trapped on ev’ry side
God will fight, just be quiet and don’t look back!
Chorus
Don’t look back, though the world is close behind
Don’t draw back, press on toward that upward prize
Don’t shrink back like ones who walk alone
Fix your eyes on Christ, don’t look back, He’ll lead us on.
Verse 2
There’s a pearl of great price,
Worth the riches of this life
So count the cost, sell it all and don’t look back!
See, the path the Savior lays
Leads from cross to stony grave
But then life outshines the strife, so don’t look back!
Verse 3
We’ve been given seed to sow,
Preach the word and let them know
Yes, put your hand to the plow and don’t look back!
Soon, one day our King will come,
And by His blood we’ll overcome
No, don’t retreat, don’t concede ’til Kingdom come!
