- I once was in bondage in Egypt�s dark night,
But Jesus has brought me out into the light;
He banished my sins and has made my heart right;
I�ll never go back, I�ll never go back.
I�ll never go back to the bondage of sin,
I�ll never go back to the place I was in,
A crown of rejoicing I�m striving to win;
I�ll never go back again.
- From sin and its follies I knew I must part
If Jesus were ever to reign in my heart;
So, turning from evil, I hastened to start;
I�ll never go back, I�ll never go back.
I�ll never go back to the world and its ways,
Its pride and its fashions, nor seek for its praise;
I�ll give to my Savior my strength and my days,
I�ll never go back again.
- From Babel confusion most gladly I fled,
And came to the heights of fair Zion instead;
I�m feasting this moment on heavenly bread;
I�ll never go back, I�ll never go back.
The beast and his image, his mark, and his name,
My love or allegiance no longer can claim,
Though men may exalt them to honor and fame;
I�ll never go back again.
- The church that was built when the Pentecost came,
The church that is kept in one faith and one name,
Shall shine on resplendent, forever the same;
I�ll never go back, I�ll never go back.
I�ll never go back to division and strife,
Where hatred and envy and malice are rife;
I�ll walk in the truth all the days of my life;
I�ll never go back again.
