I Take Him Back
Mike Bowling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mind to make Jesus Lord of my life.
I've stood the fear shed many tears, patience has stood by my side.
I hear satan say, your not even saved.
You're traveling down the wrong track.
I recall once again where grace withstood
Sin, down memories lane I'll take him back.
And I'll take him back to a time at an old
Where the saints were singing of praise
In glory sweet melody seasoned with prayer.
Where one simple sermon from an old fashion
Preacher was like life to a poor dying slave.
Well I'll walk him down the isle to a place at
The altar were grace feel and I know I got saved.
Well I never knew love till it came
From above and took its abode in my heart.
The sun shines brighter my burden is lighter since Jesus gave
Me a new start and my songs have been changed my life rearranged.
I journey down a new road,
Now when that old accuser tells me I'm a
Loser; I remind him how he lost my soul.
REPEAT CHORUS)
Where one simple sermon from and old fashion
Preacher was like life to a poor dying slave.
Well I'll walk him down the isle to a place at
The altar where grace fell and I knew I got saved.
In Mike Bowling's song "I Take Him Back," he shares about his spiritual journey of accepting Jesus Christ as Lord of his life. The lyrics describe the struggles he faced, the doubts Satan put in his mind, and the memories that rekindled his faith. He talks about going back to a time when he felt the presence of God, at an old-fashioned meeting where the saints were singing praises and praying. The simple sermon of an old-fashioned preacher gave him hope, and he went forward to the altar to accept Jesus and be saved. From that moment on, he feels that his life has been transformed, and he feels the love of God guiding him to a new path. Whenever Satan tries to bring him down or make him doubt, he remembers the moment he got saved, and he knows that he will never lose his soul again.
The song speaks of a universal struggle that many people face in their faith journey. It is easy to get sidetracked and lose sight of our purpose, but it is essential to hold on to those moments of spiritual clarity that remind us of God's love and grace. The lyrics also highlight the important role that old-fashioned preaching and worship can play in our spiritual life. It is through the simple and sincere preaching of the gospel that many lives are transformed and people find hope and salvation.
