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 your lead of love
  
   Looking back I can finally see
   How failures bring humility
   Brings me to my knees
   Helps me see my need for Thee
  
   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 your lead of love
  
   Had to walk the rocks to see the mountain view.
   Looking back I see the lead of love.
