VERSE 1

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

And I know that I need You


CHORUS

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

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh


VERSE 2

You saw my condition, had a plan from the start

Your Son for redemption, the price for my heart

And 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


CHORUS

BRIDGE

My heart has been in Your sights

Long before my first breath

Running into Your arms

Is running to life from death

And I feel this rush deep in my chest

Your mercy is calling out

Just as I am You pull me in

And I know I need You now
