John Kirk - When I Look Back Over the Years Lyrics

When I look back over the years
Recollecting all the fear
That bonded me to my pride
Nothing could get deep inside
I never want to be that way again
I never want to be that way again
I reached the end

When I was young I was so blind
I searched everywhere but could n't find
Then a Man called Jesus He said
You cannot know Me with your mind
Open your heart I'll come inside
Open your heart I'll come inside
I'll give you life

At the foot of His cross there I lay
Face down in the dirt I would have stayed
But His love reached down and touched my heart
He picked me up He gave me a new start
His last breath He breathed for me
Through His death I gained victory
He set me free

When you look back over your life
Is it all trouble and strife
Well all I want to say to you
Is that Jesus loves you

So cast all your doubt and fear on Him
Let Him take away all your sin
Then life will begin
Then life will begin
Then life will begin
