Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
You were not hiding
But I couldn't find You
If I'm being honest
Not sure I really tried
I wrestled with angels
Defending my idols
Walking in circles
Till I was blinded by the light
Now my eyes are open
And Heaven's a breath away
You broke through my borders
And plotted my great escape
I'm running to freedom
I'm taking my second chance
Out of the grave into the promised land
You were not hiding
But I couldn't find You
Oh, I used to wander
Now I'm just lost in You
My heart is beating
I'm coming alive, coming alive
To see is believing
Then I don't even have to try
Now my eyes are open
And Heaven's a breath away
You broke through my borders
And plotted my great escape
I'm running to freedom
I'm taking my second chance
Out of the grave into the promised land
Out of the grave into the promised land
Oh, I'm coming out of my grave
I'm coming out
'Cause there is a place where faith becomes sight
You pull back the curtain and let in the light
(Oh, there is a place)
There is a place where faith becomes sight
(Oh, I'm not blind anymore)
You pull back the curtain and let in the light
(Oh, there is a place)
There is a place where faith becomes sight
(Oh)
You pull back the curtain and let in the light
(Oh, there is a place)
There is a place where faith becomes sight
(Oh, when You pull it back)
Pull back the curtain and let in the light
You pull back the curtain and let in the light
You pull back the curtain and let in the light
You pull back the curtain and let in the light (Oh, You pull it back)
Pull back the curtain and let in the light
You pull back the curtain and let in the light
Now my eyes are open
Heaven's a breath away
You broke through my borders
And plotted my great escape
I'm running to freedom
I'm taking my second chance
Out of the grave into the promised land
Now my eyes are open
And Heaven's a breath away
You broke through my borders
And plotted my great escape
I'm running to freedom
I'm taking my second chance
Out of the grave into the promised land
Out of the grave into the promised land
Oh, into the promised land
Oh, I'm stepping into Your promised land...
