No turning back
Words & Music by Graham Bronczyk, Steve Trayner & Andrew Simila

Verse 1:
True love that was given to us
Poured out from the Father and Son
New life You have given to all
So we're bringing it back to You
Verse 2:
Change came when You opened my eyes Took death and You threw it aside A new day shining ever and bright What a hope we have found in You
Pre chorus:
And life wouldn't be the same without You
No it couldn't be the same without You
This heart wouldn't beat without You oh Lord

Chorus:
We are not gonna stand
For living without You
Not gonna stop
Til the world is about You
Not going back
To living without You Lord

And as our praises rise
The walls come down
We are now gonna stand
For eternity with You Lord

Bridge:
Jesus Christ I pledge my life
Unashamed of perfect love
I stand to say You reign

Jesus Christ I pledge my life




Unashamed of perfect love
I stand to say You save, You save

Overall Meaning

The Newport Church's song No Turning Back is a beautiful depiction of a believer's commitment to Jesus Christ. Through this song, the writers Graham Bronczyk, Steve Trayner, and Andrew Simila express their gratitude towards God for His mercy, love, and the new life He has given to them. This life is not a mere existence, rather it is a life full of purpose, hope, and joy, which they are determined to live for Jesus.


The first verse of the song talks about God's love for us, which was demonstrated through the sacrifice of His Son. This love that was given to us is so great that we cannot help but bring it back to Him. The second verse describes how our lives are transformed when we encounter Jesus. The old life of sin and death is replaced with a new life full of hope and brightness. The pre-chorus is an honest confession that life is not the same without Jesus, and we need Him to sustain us every moment. The chorus is a declaration of our commitment to Jesus, that we will not live without Him, and we will continue to make His name known throughout the world. The bridge emphasizes the unashamed commitment of the believers to live for Jesus, to honor Him, and to acknowledge His reign over their lives.
