Running To Meet Me
♪ Synced lyrics coming soon
Verse 1
Sunrise paints the window gold, got this itch inside my soul
Packed my share, didn't look behind
Thought the future I would find
Was paved with neon, streets alight
Burning bridges, burning bright
Chasing highs under distant stars
Ignoring all the healing scars
Yeah, I chased the wind, a freedom call
Built my world just to watch it fall
Pre-Chorus
Then the colour faded grey
Empty pockets, darker day
Down with shadows, lost my name
Just a whisper of the shame
Remembered warmth, a table spread
The life I carelessly fled
A broken prayer, a hopeful beat
Started walking, weary feet
Chorus
Identified as the most memorable and core message)
And I saw You running, running, running to meet me
Arms flung open wide, love setting me free
Didn't wait for sorry, didn't count the cost
Just Your eyes saying "Welcome home the lost!"
Running, running, faster than my fear
All that matters now is You are here
Running, running, running to meet me
Found.
Verse 2
Rehearsed the words a thousand times
"Make me servant," hid my crimes
Expected judgment, stony gaze
Lost in failure's winding maze
Saw a figure on the road ahead
Filled my heart with hope and dread
Is that anger? Is that blame?
As You called aloud my name
But closer now, I see the pace
It's not fury, it is grace.
Pre-Chorus
'Cause the colour's coming back
On this worn and broken track
Down with shadows, found my name
Washed away the burning shame
Remembered love, a promise kept
The weary miles I sadly stepped
Lead to this, this hopeful beat
Faster now, my eager feet
Chorus
And I saw You running, running, running to meet me
Arms flung open wide, love setting me free
Didn't wait for sorry, didn't count the cost
Just Your eyes saying "Welcome home the lost!"
Running, running, faster than my fear
All that matters now is You are here
Running, running, running to meet me
Found.
Bridge
Hear the music, feel the ground
Celebration all around
Best robe, a ring, a fatted calf
Someone's brother starts to laugh
But another stands outside the light
Says "I served you day and night!"
A shadow falls, a moment's pain
Then Your patient love explains
"He was dead and is alive again, my son,
This party's for the victory won."
Instrumental

Chorus
Sung with more power and release)
And I saw You running, running, running to meet me!
Arms flung open wide, love setting me free!
Didn't wait for sorry, didn't count the cost!
Just Your eyes saying "Welcome home the lost!"
Running, running, faster than my fear!
All that matters now is You are here!
Running, running, running to meet me!
Found!
