NO WAY I'LL BACK AWAY



NO WAY I'LL BACK AWAY

I can't stop, gotta go on
All around me they fall
Pretty soon all hope is gone
I stand with my back against the wall
Lord help! I cry in desperation
A cool wind dries my prespiration

I don't care if everyone falls away
I've gotta keep shouting the truth
Jesus died and rose to pave the way
Calvary offers the plainest proof
That this is not a hopeless world,
That God's banner has been unfurled

I'll stand for You Lord, though I stand alone
But even then You'll be at my side
I gaze to the Heavens, to Your Throne
And I know You've turned the tide
Though millions fall every day
No way I'll back away!
AMEN
