Somebody told me about a place, oh, I can see it
But I've got to change my ways
Day after day it's the same old thing I keep repeating
The reason I stay this way
I know what I have to do
Get back to what I know is true
When everything is broken there's a door wide open
You'll find me running through
More than just emotion, my broken heart has chosen
Jesus, I'm running to You, I'm running to You
I'm running, running to You
I'm running, running to You
I can see the tear on your face, you feel defeated
Wondering what are you living for
Selfish dreams left you time and time, empty-handed
There's got to be something more
You know what you have to do
Get back to who you know is true
When everything is broken there's a door wide open
You'll find me running through
More than just emotion, my broken heart has chosen
Jesus, I'm running to You, I'm running to You
You're the only one
Who can fix what I've become
Oh God, I believe in Your love
When everything is broken there's a door wide open
You'll find me running to You
More than just emotion, my broken heart has chosen
Jesus, I'm running to You, I'm running to You
I'm running to You, I'm running to You
I'm running, running to You
I'm running, running to You
I'm running to You
