Look Behind Lyrics

I sat down with my Papaw the other day

He seemed a little distant, and didn't have that much to say

What's wrong Papaw? Then I saw the tears in his eyes

He said Boy I ain't complaining. I lived my life

Worked hard for my family. Raised three kids and loved my wife

But I can't quiet these questions that keep circling in my mind

Did I make a difference? Did I take a chance

When the music played, was I too busy to dance

It seems that the older I get, the more I look behind

Well I told him that I loved him, he made a difference to me

He just smiled and said Go on now. Time to let this old man be

I'll be ok. He turned away. But I heard him softly say

Did I miss a turn when I ran my race

Did I take the easy path? Did I play it safe

It seems that the older I get, the more I look behind

So I thought why should I worry about the future and my life

I lay it on the altar as a pleasing sacrifice

I give it all away to the One who died for me

He says I know the plans I have for you

Just love and trust me in all that you do

Come follow me and then you will be free

You'll make a difference. You'll take a chance

When the music plays, Oh I'll watch you dance

The more you keep your eyes on me, the less you look behind

So in His name I'll sing every song, give every hug

And when it's time to choose, choose love

The more I keep my eyes on Him, the less I look behind

I sat down with my Papaw the other day
