Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
It's been a little while since we talked
I guess my life just got too busy
Tryna fill up all the empty
I ran away so far that I got lost
Guess I forgot that You were with me
I'm so sorry, please forgive me
And it sure feels good to see You, my old friend
I'm broken, but I'm lifting up these hands
Hello, hallelujah
I've been away for way too long
Building a kingdom of my own
Hello, hallelujah
Turn these sorrows into songs
I was running, now and I'm home
Goodbye to thinking I could ever lose You
And hello, hallelujah
Oh
Hello, hallelujah
I know You've had some friends that come and go
I guess You've seen it all before
I sure didn't mean to be one more
And after all this time, You never left
So I'm holding nothing back
And I'm praising You again
Hello, hallelujah
I've been away for way too long
Building a kingdom of my own
Hello, hallelujah
Turn these sorrows into songs
I was running, now and I'm home
Goodbye to thinking I could ever lose You
And hello, hallelujah
Goodbye to all my yesterdays
Hello to amazing grace
How sweet the sound of a runaway running home
Goodbye to sin, goodbye to shame
Hello to a brand-new day
How sweet the sound of a runaway running home
Hello, hallelujah
I've been away for way too long
Building a kingdom of my own
Hello, hallelujah
Turn these sorrows into songs
I was running, now and I'm home
Goodbye to thinking I could ever lose You
And hello, hallelujah
Hello, hallelujah
