Tori Kelly's song 'Sunday' is a raw and honest confession about the gap between outward appearances and inner struggles. She acknowledges that people may see a put-together person at church, but underneath there are hidden scars, shame, and a messy heart. The song emphasizes that true faith isn't about looking perfect on Sundays; it's about running to God's grace every single day. Kelly expresses a deep need for God's loving fire to cleanse her heart and a desire for freedom from pretense. The message is one of vulnerability, humility, and reliance on grace rather than religious performance.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

When the world looks at me

I wonder what they see

Underneath these eyes

Oh, smiles masquerade as pain

And grow up to be shame

Then leave me with a lie


I know they, they don't see my flaws

Or these hidden scars

And all the mess I've made

Oh, so don't, don't let Sunday fool you

Here's my hallelujah

Every single day, I'm running to Your grace

Ey, ey, ey


I'm tired of this dirty heart

That keeps our world apart

I need Your loving fire

And even in these church clothes

I can't dress up my soul

To be free is my desire


I'm so far from where they think I am

But when I raise my hands

I'm reaching out for life

Oh, so don't, don't let Sunday fool you

Here's my hallelujah

Every single day, I'm running to Your grace


I know they, they don't see my flaws

Or these hidden scars

And all the mess I've made

Oh, so don't, don't let Sunday fool ya

Here's my hallelujah

Every single day, I'm running to Your grace


Running to Your grace

Ooh, I need it everyday
