Run Away (Run To You)

I want to run away, far away,

Maybe if I drove a fast car,

Or even caught a jet plane and flew away,

I could find my way to a better day,

And to a place far away from here, anywhere but here,

From timbuktu to far Peru,

Australia or even just Austria,

Anywhere to escape this life I live,

And this pain I hide deep within,

The only constant that would remain, Is my holy King,

But I know that no matter where I go,

The road I travelled would remain the same,

And I could go so far as to change my name,

But I'd still have those feelings deep within,

Feelings left from shame and sin,

Disgrace and paranoia buried deep within,

Like a horror villain these feelings would follow wherever I may go,

Besides these thoughts are all I know,

So one thing remains, I have one thing left to do,

Before my lights go dim I must give my pain to him,

So Lord if I must run anywhere,

Lord I choose to run to you,

For I know your throne is the only place I may go,

The throne of grace is where I leave my sin and shame,

For no matter where I run I know you are there,

And no matter what I do or say, I know you care,

So instead of running away, Lord I run to you.
