Looking back at the road so far

The journey's left its share of scars

Mostly from leaving the narrow and straight



Looking back it is clear to me

That a man is more than the sum of his deeds

And how You've made good of this mess I've made

Is a profound mystery



Looking back You know You had to bring me through

All that I was so afraid of

Though I questioned the sky, now I see why

Had to walk the rocks to see the mountain view

Looking back I see the lead of love



Looking back I can finally see (I'd rather have wisdom)

How failures bring humility (than be)

Brings me to my knees (a comfortable fool)

Helps me see my need for Thee
