Commissioned – Back In The Saddle lyrics

We saw you a year ago
At the convention
You were flying high not to mention
Your testimony was strong
You even stood up and sang a song
Knowing full and well that this is not a ritual
Your walk with Christ was spiritual
Bible in one hand track in the other
A witness in the streets, but oh my brother
What happened, did you miss the mark?
Did you fall short?
You say the race is not fun
What hinders you now, that you do not run?

I know you've heard it said if at first you don't succeed
Get back up and try it again
But it's easier to say than it is to get it done
You just keep on praying
You just keep on staying
You'll find out that you can be the one
You will never give in to the devil's call
You'll be ready to get up when you take a fall
Now you should've known, you are not alone
You just keep on praying
And you just keep on staying
You'll find out that you could be the one
I know that sometimes it gets hard
To stand your ground
You remember, never give in
Look up to God he is your help
Oh, he knows your weakness and he'll provide a way of escape
Just keep on praying for you'll find
Quitters never win
Winners don't give in
You just wait on him, you will find
Promises are true
What he says he'll do

Mr. Christian, Mrs. Saint
We said you can don't say you can't
It's not the one who finished first my friend
But it's the one who makes it to the end
So go on and confess up your debt is paid
And go and clean the mess up that you made
It's not a license to sin, but one to get free
I told you time and again you got the victory
Sing it

Get back, Get back, Get back up in the saddle
Get back, Get back, Get back up in the saddle
Get back, Get back, Get back up in the saddle
Get back, Get back, Get back up in the saddle

Oh, get on up
Oh, giddy up

A just man falls but a few times
But he gets back up with the right mind
A just man falls but a few time
But he gets back up with the right mind

Repeat until end of song
