Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
They say hindsight's 20/20
But I can't say I knew it was coming
All the detours, all the closed doors
All the kinds of prayers you pray on floors
When you don't know if it'll all work out
I wasn't then, but I'm grateful now
Looking back in hindsight, I can see it clear
You were with me there, You are with me here
I may not know the future, but I know that You do
'Cause looking back in hindsight, looking back in hindsight
It was always You
So if I find myself in ruin
I'll trust that You know what You're doing
I don't have rose-colored glasses, can't see beauty in the ashes
But what I've seen is a history that proves
You redeem, so I know that's what You'll do
Looking back in hindsight, I can see it clear
You were with me there and You are with me here
I may not know the future, but I know that You do
Looking back in hindsight, oh
It was always You
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of what's ahead (As long as You)
There's nowhere I go that You and I had already been (It was always You)
We work on things for good, so that's how the story's gonna end
In my life
Looking back in hindsight, I can see it clear
You were with me there, You are with me here
I may not know the future, but I know that You do
The future doesn't scare me the way that it used to
Looking back in hindsight, looking back in hindsight
It was always You
