Don't Look Down
Josh & Wesz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe you're like me
Maybe you can't see past your mistakes
They haunt you like a ghost
They won't leave you alone
You always hear them say
You'll always be this way

Well, this is a song for those of us who long for
A new day, fresh start, clean slate, clear heart
This is a song to the ones who are so through
With yesterday

Don't look back, don't look back
The past is past, don't look back
Mercy has swallowed up all your mistakes
Swim in His infinite oceans of grace
Don't look back, don't look back

Leave it all behind, step into the light
And let it shine on you
Just you wait and see
Cause you would not believe what our God can do
What He has planned for you

Cause we have a Savior who lived died and paid for
A new day, fresh start, clean slate, clear heart
This is a song to the ones who are so through with yesterday

Don't look back, don't look back
The past is past, don't look back
Mercy has swallowed up all your mistakes
Swim in His infinite oceans of grace
Don't look back, don't look back

I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
No turning back, no turning back

Don't look back, don't look back
The past is past, don't look back
Mercy has swallowed up all your mistakes
Swim in His infinite oceans of grace
Don't look back, don't look back
Don't look back, don't look back





I have decided to follow Jesus
No turning back, no turning back
