I can't help it, looking back to the past

It's crazy how far I fell and how fast

I was, living in sin, going through the motions

Had an anchor on my legs and I was drowning in an ocean of

Temptation, regrets, lust and lies

Tried so hard to hide the fact I was living a double life

Playing on them drums church service every Sunday

Now it's Monday different life more acting call it broadway

I was on the broad way heading the wrong way didn't want the straight and narrow

Psalms 64:7 God should've struck me with them arrows

Couldn't see that those I loved I was marking them with scars

One night my dad could've died and it would have been my fault

God I'm sorry for all the times I let you down

I break down and I get down on my knees

I'm a letdown but for some reason you still kept me around I don't know how

I know I have to take a step back

I'm either going backwards or I'm moving forwards

But a step back's not a set back

Don't want to be content where I'm at

So I had to take a step back

But now I'm running and I'm ready

So tell the devil he can get back

I had to take a step back, I was too close I couldn't see

All the mistakes that I was making were destroying me

And then God opened my eyes and my heart so I could see

There was a reason he sent his only son to die on that tree

It seems like everyone I loved I was letting them down

But there's a reason when we let God down he picks us up

Our goal should be to meet the one who wears the crown

But we gotta take a leap of faith, so get ready to jump

Gonna need a running start 'cause what's coming next ain't no cakewalk

In the midst of persecution you gotta let your faith talk

So stay strong, let your faith walk

If God says step back

Then Michael Jackson wit it go and do the moonwalk

Do the moonwalk, forget Armstrong

Stepping back to the beat 'cause my God's strong

Yeah my God's strong, yeah I've seen him work

Seen him fix the broken, heal the hurt

So step back

New perspective

Turns out I was in my own way living young wild and reckless

Yeah that was me, I'm a living testimony

Made him number one and I've never been the same

All life is, is having the right priorities

I'll never do a thing except for glorify his name

That was me, I'm a living testimony

Made him number one now I've never been the same

All life is, is having the right priorities

I'll never do a thing except for glorify his name

God please give me a new perspective

I know I have to take a step back

I'm either going backwards or I'm moving forwards

But a step back's not a set back

Don't want to be content where I'm at

So I had to take a step back

But now I'm running and I'm ready

So tell the devil he can get back

So you want a new perspective

Then why don't you try to walk a day in His shoes

Or maybe we should try carrying that cross on our backs

Or how about we get whipped, beaten and bruised

That's what I thought, you ain't up to it

That's ok 'cause neither am I

All we gotta do is step back

And hand the controls to the one who paid the ultimate sacrifice

All we gotta do is step back

And hand the controls to the one who paid the ultimate sacrifice
