Given the word, given the word for change Given the road to lead the lost from their pain Given this life, this one life to bring hope Purpose, word, mercy, flame But I ran — I turned and I ran Took the ship going the opposite way Out of Your will, out of Your plan Hiding my heart from the call on my name You came looking through the storm You chased me down when I was far gone Sent the waves and the deep unknown Swallowed me whole so I’d never be alone No more hiding, no more running away You find me, You break me, You make me obey Down in the dark where the silence screamed loud I remembered the faces I left in the crowd Every promise I broke, every fear I obeyed My own stubborn heart was the price I had paid From the depths I cried out to the light From the belly of failure I lifted my eyes Even there, even then, I was still in Your sight You never let go through the longest night You came looking through the storm You chased me down when I was far gone Sent the waves and the deep unknown Spit me back on the shore I called home No more hiding, no more running away You find me, You change me, You show me the way I was the one who said “send someone else” You turned my weakness into something that helps What I ran from became the very door Now I walk in the purpose I was made for You came looking through the storm You wrecked my plans but You gave me Yours Now I stand where the lost ones cry Carrying mercy under open skies No more hiding, no more running away I’m Yours — completely Yours today Outro (soft, repeating) Purpose… word… mercy… flame I was lost… but You called my name I was swallowed… now I’m found again
