Thy vows are bind¤ing, Lord, on me,
My heart is pur¤posed, I will be
A liv¤ing sac¤ri¤fice for Thee–
I can¤not now go back.

Chorus:
I can¤not now go back,
I can¤not now go back;
Thou, Lord, hast heard the vows I made–
I can¤not now go back.

I fol¤low at my Sav¤iour’s call,
My first and best, I yield it all,
And give my tal¤ents great or small–
I can¤not now go back.

I long to live for Him a¤lone,
My life is His, my heart His throne,
Why should I rob Him of His own?–
I can¤not now go back.

I for¤ward press to gain the prize,
Strong in the grace my Lord sup¤plies,
Though dai¤ly I must sac¤ri¤fice–
I can¤not now go back.

His love e¤ter¤nal, strong and true,
Will lead me on His will to do
And keep me all the jour¤ney through,–
I can¤not now go back.
