Song Lyrics

---

You want me to be who I was
But that old me is finally dead
You don’t know what happened to me
But did you listen to what I said
You know I’ve played this game before
And it only hurt me even then
So I’m not playing anymore
Oh, I’m never going back again

I’m not giving up
I won’t back down
I’m not letting go
Of this life I’ve found
It’s God’s grace
That turned me around
He’s not letting go of me
So I won’t back down

Oh, I’ve been lost just like you are
Back when I let fear rule my soul
I wanted to run my own life
But I never really had control
And I’ve been down that road before
It only led to darkness even then
I won’t go that way anymore
No, I’m never going back again

I’m not giving up
I won’t back down
I’m not letting go
Of this life I’ve found
It’s God’s grace
That turned me around
He’s not letting go of me
So I won’t back down

Oh, you can’t pull me back in
Back into that life of sin
Fighting wars I could not win
No, I won’t go back again

I’m not giving up
I won’t back down
I’m not letting go
Of this life I’ve found
It’s God’s grace
That turned me around
He’s not letting go of me
So I won’t back down
