runner lyrics
Verse 1
I know the song
That says I’m prone to wander
But I like to think
I know where this road leads
I’m on a search
For heaven when I leave You
Just to find that hell’s
Where I’m alone with me
Verse 2
I’m angry like the father
That you gave me
And stubborn like
The one you gave to him
So how could You
Expect me just to trust You
When You know that I’m afraid
You’re just like them?
Chorus
Oo, I’m a runner,
I’m a chaser, I’m a lover
Of all the things that
Pull me from Your side
But You tell me that
You love me like no other
And maybe one day
I’ll believe You’re right
Verse 3
I know I’ll have to
Pay for what I’m doing
The preacher says that
Justice must be done
I know the things I’ve done
Have made You angry
But the Bible says
You’ve placed that on Your Son
Verse 4
I’m fearless on my best
And on my worst days
It’s hard to think You
See through that facade
You know I run 'cause
I’m afraid of living
But life without Your love's
Just a mirage
Chorus
Oo, I’m a runner,
I’m a chaser, I’m a lover
Of all the things
That pull me from Your side
But You tell me that
You love me like no other
And maybe one day
I’ll believe You’re right
Verse 5
There’s a thousand other
Places I would run to
Before I dared
To look You in the eyes
But there’s
Something in Your gaze
That makes me wonder
If You’ve really loved me
This way all this time
Chorus
Oo, I’m a runner
I’m a chaser, I’m a lover
Of all the things
That pull me from Your side
But You tell me that
You love me like no other
And maybe one day
I’ll believe You’re right
Tag 1
And there’s nothing that can
Take me from Your sight
