(Before your presence came and changed me)
Somebody say, I won't (I won't go back, can't go back, to the way it used to be)
(Before your presence came and changed me) would you lift up your voices loud as you can and say "I won't"
(I won't go back, can't go back, to the way it used to be)

Come on, somebody lift your voice and declare and say

(Before your presence came and changed me)
Somebody say "I won't go back, say"
(I won't go back, can't go back, to the way it used to be)
(Before your presence came and changed me)
Come on, just one more time, "I won't" (I won't go back, can't go back, to the way it used to be)

The lyrics of William McDowell's song "I Won't Go Back" speak of the transformative power of the presence of God in the life of the songwriter. He describes how he has been changed, healed, freed, and delivered in God's presence. He also speaks of finding joy, peace, grace, and favor in His presence. The lyrics exhort the listener to declare that they won't go back to the way things used to be before they experienced the transforming power of God's presence. The songwriter encourages the listener to lift up their voice and declare that they won't go back to their past, which they describe as being filled with shame, guilt, fear, and sin. The song is a beautiful testimony of the songwriter's transformation and a call to others to experience the power of God's presence in their lives.
