I carried secrets like a stone Built these walls and called them home Every night I heard the sound Of all the things I buried down I wore a smile, I played the part While silence tore apart my heart I thought that I could hide from You But You already knew the truth And I don’t wanna run anymore Don’t wanna hide behind this door I laid my broken heart before You And You loved me like You always do When I confessed what I had done You didn’t turn, You didn’t run You took the weight I couldn’t bear And I found mercy waiting there The days were long, my strength was gone I tried so hard to carry on Your hand was heavy on my soul Until I finally lost control I fell down on my knees that night No more excuses, no more lies And in the darkness of my shame I heard You gently call my name And I don’t wanna run anymore Don’t wanna hide behind this door I laid my broken heart before You And You loved me like You always do When I confessed what I had done You didn’t turn, You didn’t run You took the weight I couldn’t bear And I found mercy waiting there You are the shelter from the storm The place where broken hearts are born Into a life they never knew A song of freedom found in You And I don’t wanna run anymore My chains are lying on the floor You covered everything I’ve been And taught my heart to sing again Now every road that lies ahead I’ll trust the words that You have said The man I was is not the same Your mercy called me back by name I stopped running You were waiting I stopped hiding You forgave me
