A love like this breaks the back of all my heaviness
It stands me up just to move again
Finds you in the mess I'm in
A love like this present in my willingness
When I have nothing else to give
At least it's honest
You don't shut me up
When words come flying out
When I'm sinking in myself and I'm about to drown
You don't close the door
After I keep running out
You chase me
You chase me down
You chase me
You chase me down
A love like this shows up ready to commit
Never fails and it always sits
Right where I can run to it
A love like this can't be measured even by its width
Surpasses heights and even depths
By God it's honest
You don't shut me up
When words come flying out
When I'm sinking in myself and I'm about to drown
You don't close the door
After I keep running out
You chase me
You chase me down
You chase me
You chase me down
Love put breath back in my lungs
It cleaned me off
It brought me home
It left the rest to find the one
It's honest love
Honest love
Love surrendered to the ground
Laid down deep to pull me out
It's still right here and even now
It's honest love
Honest love
You don't shut me up
When words come flying out
When I'm sinking in myself and I'm about to drown
You don't close the door
After I keep running out
You chase me
You chase me down
You chase me
You chase me down
