Running in circles
Straight into You
The One I avoided
I came face to face with
No way of escape
It was the due date
I had to look up
Confront all my fears
Let go of the anger and hurt
I held onto for so many years
I drew back for a moment
My heart racing
Pictures of sin flooding my mind
I wonder if it’s also flooding Your’s
How could I a mere sinner
stand in the presence of
One so grand
I looked up
into Your eyes
filled with love
Not a trace of the judgment
I had expected
Love flowed from the marvellous light
that surround You
It enveloped every fiber
of my being
For the first time in my life
I knew the true meaning of love
I had to run into the One
Whom I needed most
Without knowing it
You were wooing me in
I could not escape
from the embrace
in Your eyes
I could not escape
from Your nailed pierced hands
That were stretched out to me
a mere sinner in rags
For a mere moment I retreated
I have run for so long
to avoid this sacred moment
I could have lost my soul
End up in the pit of hell
Still Your love drew me
from places
I dare not remember
For Your presence is sacred
Your presence is holy
Your presence frees us
from darkness that enslaves us
Your love stronger than death
Will cross every border
Search through every pigpen
Through the enemies camp
You won’t back down
To be united with us
You will not rest
Till we come home
What greater love is there to experience
Then our Father’s heart towards us
He cleanses, heals, and restores us
We are no longer slaves
To our circumstances
We are enslaved
by the Father’s unrelenting love
towards us.
