Never Turn Back
The Evereadys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got to leave this world behind
I've got Christ in my life
I've got heaven on my mind
My life was like a vessel broken up in the sand
It was tossed to and fro by things I didn't understand
But I'm going back to God, yes I am
But I'm going back to God and that's why
I will never turn back in this sinful world anymore
One more thing I want to say
Sometime we get discouraged living this Christian life
And the things that we do we do them wrong instead of right
But Jesus told us always He said always to fast and pray
And if we did not know how He would give us words to say
Sometimes you might stumble but he'll never let you fall
Cause He is a wonderful God did you know that
Cause He is so wonderful, merciful
That's why I will never turn back in this sinful world anymore
Listen y'all
Sometimes we let Satan we take him for a ride
When I know in all the times his intentions are to drive
Then he will defeat you of your purpose and your goal
Then we wind up yielding to him our bodies and our soul
But listen great is he that's in Me than he that is in the world
And I'm going back to God, got to go back to God
And that's why I will never turn back in this sinful world
I don't want to lose this race
I'm looking forward to seeing Your face
I'm not going to let you down
My feet are planted on higher ground
Never no more
The Evereadys' song "Never Turn Back" is a gospel track that speaks about the struggles of life and the need to turn to God for guidance and support. The song starts with the artist acknowledging that they are giving up their old way of life and leaving the world behind, as they have found salvation through Christ. They declare that their life was once a ship that was tossed by the winds of life, but now they have found direction through Christ. The artist affirms their commitment to the faith and vows never to turn back from the path they have chosen.
The second verse focuses on the challenges of living a Christian life and the times when one might stumble. The artist acknowledges that they too have failed to do the right thing and that it is essential to turn to God and seek His help. They repeat Jesus' instructions to pray and fast and trust that He will give them the words to say. The artist reminds the listener that stumbling does not mean falling, and with Jesus' merciful help, they can keep moving forward.
The third verse is a warning that the devil is always trying to lead people away from their goals and purposes. But, the artist boldly declares that they will not give in to the devil's tactics because the power of Christ is within them. They reiterate their commitment to God and their desire never to return to their old ways.
