Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I?ve carried a burden for too long on my own
I wasn?t created to bear it alone
I hear Your invitation
To let it all go
I see it now
I?m laying it down
I know that I need You

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I?m done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I?ll run to the Father
Again and again 
And again and again

You saw my condition
Had a plan from the start
Your Son for redemption
The price for my heart
I don?t have a context
For that kind of love
I don?t understand
I can?t comprehend
All I know is I need You

My heart has been in Your sights
Long before my first breath
Running into Your arms
Is running to life from death
I feel this rush deep in my chest
Your mercy is calling out
Just as I am You pull me in
I know I need You now
