This Old World
This old world's not worth a pillar of salt
Don't look back when the devil calls
There's nothing back behind you
That's worth a wishful stare
Keep your eyes upon the Master
And ears tuned in in prayer
When the Lord calls you out and on to the journey of obedience
Put your hand to the plow and go right now without a backward glance
The enemy will taunt and say
You're not worthy, look where you came from
Don't look back, look up to Jesus
That's where our victory's won
This old world's not worth a pillar of salt
Don't look back when the devil calls
There's nothing back behind you
That's worth a wishful stare
Keep your eyes upon the Master
And ears tuned in in prayer
The wiles of old sloughfoot will bring distraction to your mind
When the people you love leave you on the path of the Lord's design
But if you must go with tears to sow the good word of the Lord
He will more than bless the harvest in souls that have been restored
This old world's not worth a pillar of salt
Don't look back when the devil calls
There's nothing back behind you
That's worth a wishful stare
Keep your eyes upon the Master
And ears tuned in in prayer
This old world's not worth a pillar of salt
Don't look back when the devil calls
There's nothing back behind you
That's worth a wishful stare
Keep your eyes upon the Master
And your ears tuned in in prayer
No, this old world
It's not worth a pillar of salt
So keep your eyes upon the Master
And ears tuned in in prayer
Don't look back when the devil calls
There's nothing back behind you
That's worth a wishful stare
Keep your eyes upon the Master
And ears tuned in in prayer
When the Lord calls you out and on to the journey of obedience
Put your hand to the plow and go right now without a backward glance
The enemy will taunt and say
You're not worthy, look where you came from
Don't look back, look up to Jesus
That's where our victory's won
This old world's not worth a pillar of salt
Don't look back when the devil calls
There's nothing back behind you
That's worth a wishful stare
Keep your eyes upon the Master
And ears tuned in in prayer
The wiles of old sloughfoot will bring distraction to your mind
When the people you love leave you on the path of the Lord's design
But if you must go with tears to sow the good word of the Lord
He will more than bless the harvest in souls that have been restored
This old world's not worth a pillar of salt
Don't look back when the devil calls
There's nothing back behind you
That's worth a wishful stare
Keep your eyes upon the Master
And ears tuned in in prayer
This old world's not worth a pillar of salt
Don't look back when the devil calls
There's nothing back behind you
That's worth a wishful stare
Keep your eyes upon the Master
And your ears tuned in in prayer
No, this old world
It's not worth a pillar of salt
So keep your eyes upon the Master
And ears tuned in in prayer
