- I once was in bondage in Egypt痴 dark night,
But Jesus has brought me out into the light;
He banished my sins and has made my heart right;
I値l never go back, I値l never go back.
I値l never go back to the bondage of sin,
I値l never go back to the place I was in,
A crown of rejoicing I知 striving to win;
I値l never go back again.
- From sin and its follies I knew I must part
If Jesus were ever to reign in my heart;
So, turning from evil, I hastened to start;
I値l never go back, I値l never go back.
I値l never go back to the world and its ways,
Its pride and its fashions, nor seek for its praise;
I値l give to my Savior my strength and my days,
I値l never go back again.
- From Babel confusion most gladly I fled,
And came to the heights of fair Zion instead;
I知 feasting this moment on heavenly bread;
I値l never go back, I値l never go back.
The beast and his image, his mark, and his name,
My love or allegiance no longer can claim,
Though men may exalt them to honor and fame;
I値l never go back again.
- The church that was built when the Pentecost came,
The church that is kept in one faith and one name,
Shall shine on resplendent, forever the same;
I値l never go back, I値l never go back.
I値l never go back to division and strife,
Where hatred and envy and malice are rife;
I値l walk in the truth all the days of my life;
I値l never go back again.
