Lyrics

Thinking back I can remember much uncertainty
About which way to go and what to do
Second guessing every choice I made and path I took
Hoping to avoid a bad mistake or two


I could not see your guiding hand through all of it
And how you always make the pieces fit


Looking back - now I know
You planted me where I could grow
Looking back – I can see
The way You shaped my destiny
Filled my thoughts, inspired my mood
Looking back...
I have such gratitude


Now I understand how You always had my back
And I was never close to being far away
There was never any danger I could go astray
Your light would always somehow point the way


Now I know your loving hand was always there
To pull me back from danger I can't see


Looking back - now I know
You planted me where I could grow
Looking back - I can see
The way You shaped my destiny
Filled my thoughts, inspired my mood
Looking back...
I have such gratitude


They say that hindsight's always 20/20
But I wish that I could understand it now
The way You're making all things work together
But for now I see what You allow


Looking back - now I know
You planted me where I could grow
Looking back – I can see
The way You shaped my destiny
Filled my thoughts, inspired my mood
Looking back...
I have such gratitude
