Jaybo Watson - Look Behind

I sat down with my Papaw the other day
He seemed a little distant, and didn't have that much to say
What's wrong Papaw? Then I saw the tears in his eyes
He said Boy I ain't complaining. I lived my life
Worked hard for my family. Raised three kids and loved my wife
But I can't quiet these questions that keep circling in my mind

Did I make a difference? Did I take a chance
When the music played, was I too busy to dance
It seems that the older I get, the more I look behind

Well I told him that I loved him, he made a difference to me
He just smiled and said Go on now. Time to let this old man be
I'll be ok. He turned away. But I heard him softly say

Did I miss a turn when I ran my race
Did I take the easy path? Did I play it safe
It seems that the older I get, the more I look behind

So I thought why should I worry about the future and my life
I lay it on the altar as a pleasing sacrifice
I give it all away to the One who died for me
He says I know the plans I have for you
Just love and trust me in all that you do
Come follow me and then you will be free

You'll make a difference. You'll take a chance
When the music plays, Oh I'll watch you dance
The more you keep your eyes on me, the less you look behind

So in His name I'll sing every song, give every hug
And when it's time to choose, choose love
The more I keep my eyes on Him, the less I look behind

I sat down with my Papaw the other day
