Where do I run

Sometimes we think we can hide from God. Especially when it comes the tiny short-fallings we have. We can become so used to accepting them that they become part of the motion in our everyday lives, and we could very easily put them off as nothing. These could be the very things preventing us from unlocking greater blessings from the Lord. When the Lord stretches out His hand to wake us up from this state of denial we have, as much as it may hurt, embrace it, dont reject it it. It says in proverbs, do not reject the Lords discipline and rebuke for He disciplines who He loves. This rude awakening is one of the greatest measure of grace we could be given. Are we in denial? Are we afraid of consequences? Are we running?

V1
I was thinking maybe you would'nt see
I was thinking maybe you'll let me be
I was thinking give and take..

I was thinking if I met you halfway there
I could make the mistakes
The ones I choose to make..

But right there, when I thought I was right
Your love rebukes me again
And I hate it, but I pray it will not end

Chorus
If I ran to the mountain top, you'll be there
If I ran to the depths of the earth, you'll be there
If I ran, you'll catch me, surely you will
Where do I run from the eyes that looked at me before the world began?

V2
Denial is what got me here
The constant refusal
To face the problem at hand

Running through the cracks
Riddling with the circumstance
The rules that cannot bend

Right there where I thought I was right
Your love rebukes my sin
And I hate it, but I pray it will not end

Chorus
If I ran to the mountain top, you'll be there
If I ran to the depths of the earth, you'll be there
If I ran, you'll catch me, surely you will
Where do I run from the eyes that looked at me before the world began?


Bridge
Before I saw you, you saw me
Before I chased you, you chased me
Before I made up my mind, you made up your mind about me
And im asking why, why..

Why an underserving wretch like me
Why an underserving wretch like me
Why an underserving wretch like me
Why an underserving wretch like me?
