I won't go back
I won't go back
I won't go back
I won't go back
I won't go back
My God's been good to me

[Verse 2]
My soul says, "Yes"
Soul says, "Yes"
Soul says, "Yes"
Soul says, "Yes"
My soul says, "Yes"
Soul says, "Yes"
Soul says, "Yes"
Soul says, "Yes"
My God's been good to me

[Chorus]
He's been better to me
Better than I've been to myself
I won't, I won't go back (Yes)
He's been better to me
Better than I've been to myself
I won't, I won't go back

[Verse 3]
I press my way
I press my way
I press my way

I press my way
I press my way
I press my way
I press my way
My God's been good to me
My God's been good to me
I won't, I won't go back

[Chorus]
He's been better to me
Better than I've been to myself
I won't, I won't go back (Yes)
He's been better to me
Better than I've been to myself
I won't, I won't go back

[Verse 4]
I said I won't (I won't go back)
I won't go back (I won't, I won't go back)
No, I won't (I won't go back)
I won't go back (I won't, I won't go back)
I've crawled through the fire (I won't go back)
And I've been through the flood (I won't, I won't go back)
I've come this far (I won't go back)
To turn my back on Jesus (I won't, I won't go back)
I've been through depression (I won't go back)
Even low self-esteem (I won't, I won't go back)
I came back from suicide (I won't go back)
But the Holy Ghost was on my side (I won't, I won't go back)
I can't go back (I won't go back)
To the way it used to be (I won't, I won't go back)
Ever since the Lord (I won't go back)
Came in my life and changed me (I won't, I won't go back)
Said yeah, yeah, oh

[Verse 5]
Hear us, Lord
Yeah, said I won't (I won't go back)
I won't go back (I won't, I won't go back)
God is the source (I won't go back)
And the strength of my life (I won't, I won't go back)
He heals our pain (I won't go back)
The misery and strife (I won't, I won't go back)
You don't have to stay (I won't go back)
In the shape that you've been (I won't, I won't go back)
Because the Lord wants to put you back (I won't go back)
Back together again (I won't, I won't go back)
Since I met Jesus (I won't go back)
My whole life has changed (I won't, I won't go back)
And it's because of Him (I won't go back)
I'm no longer the same (I won't, I won't go back)
He changed my desires (I won't go back)
And filled me with His Holy Ghost's fire (I won't, I won't go back)
I thank you (I won't go back)
For never giving up on me (I won't, I won't go back)
I said, Lord, I thank you (I won't go back)
For setting us all free, Lord (I won't, I won't go back)
My soul says, "Yes" (I won't go back)
"Yes to Your will" (I won't, I won't go back)
My soul says, "Yes" (I won't go back)
"Yes to Your will" (I won't, I won't go back)
I won't go back (I won't go back)
Yes, I won't (I won't, I won't go back)
Can't go back to the old way of living (I won't go back)
Can't go back to the old way of thinking (I won't go back)
No, no, no, no, never

[Chorus]
(He's been better to me) Oh
(Better than I've been to myself) Woo
(He's been better to me) I can truly show you
(Better than I've been to myself) That Jesus brought me all the way
(He's been better to me) He brought me out of darkness
(Better than I've been to myself) Into the marvelous light
(He's been better to me) He pays my deed faithfully
(Better than I've been to myself) And gave me the strength to fight
(He's been better to me) My God is so faithful
(Better than I've been to myself) And He's true
(I won't, I won't go back) I won't go back

[Outro]

Would y'all clap your hands if you're not goin' back?
