Back Up Lyrics

I agree with dnask8. In the first 2 groups of lyrics, first 3 lines each: it's the devil talking to the person, the forth line is the person saying to himself: "Stand up get up back up now". Telling himself to stand up for Jesus, walk away from the situation, back up or back away, now. Then the last line, he tells the devil (or the temptation the devil is offering) to: "Just stay away". The second group of lyrics follow the same formula. The last four groups of lyrics, the person has gained confidence and an understanding of a commitment or re-commitment to follow Jesus and in all lines, he is pushing the devil back. We as humans suffer thoughts of the flesh and thoughts the devil puts in our minds to strain the connection we have with God and sometimes we need to push the devil back and say "I'm not going to entertain those thoughts or even allow my mind to go there, You try to bring me down. So stand up get up back up now Just stay away"
