I was running
A thousand miles an hour
In the wrong direction
Trying to find something
Besides what I knew I need
And I don't listen
To what anyone had to say
Especaly to him
From who I had run away
Because I thought I knew what was best
For me
.
I fought the tears
That tried to roll down my face
Running a thousand miles an hour
In the wrong direction
Fleeing from
This anger
My fears and pain
And from the only one
Who could take it all away
With my sin and shame
.
Ignoring lofty glances
From lofty people
Who think they are so righteous
And they don't even know me
I've been running
For years and years
From the pain inside
And I knew what I needed to do
But instead I keeped running
In the wrong direction
.
Searching for something
For annyting
But rejecting what I really needed
.
I was hiding
From the pain and sins
I held deep inside
Looking for
A way to survive
.
And finly broken I surrender
Give my self up to you
Once again, My lord
.
I was
Running a thousand miles an hour
In the wrong direction
Feeling so alone
Yet rejecting
The one who all this time
Stood by my side
With just as Many tears in his eyes
His hand out stretched
I tak it
Welcome home
Jesus contently sighs
As a smile crosses the lips
Beneath my tear stained eyes
