Lyrics:

I’ve carried a burden

For too long on my own

I wasn’t created

To bear it alone

I hear Your invitation

To let it all go

I see it now

I’m laying it down

I know that I need You

CHORUS 1

I run to the Father

I fall into grace

I’m done with the hiding

No reason to wait

My heart needs a surgeon

My soul needs a friend

So I’ll run to the Father

Again and again

And again and again

INTERLUDE

VERSE 2

You saw my condition

Had a plan from the start

Your Son for redemption

The price for my heart

I don’t have a context

For that kind of love

I don’t understand

I can’t comprehend

All I know is I need You

CHORUS

INTERLUDE (X2)

BRIDGE

My heart has been in Your sights

Long before my first breath

Running into Your arms

Is running to life from death

I feel this rush, deep in my chest

Your mercy is calling out Just as I am, You pull me in

I know I need You now

CHORUS 1

CHORUS 2

I run to the Father

I fall into grace

I’m done with the hiding

No reason to wait

My heart found a surgeon

My soul found a friend

So I’ll run to the Father

Again and again

And again and again

OUTRO

Oh, oh, again and again and again and again

Oh, oh, oh, again and again

  1. Love love love this version with the deeper resonance of Matt's voice, the great harmonies and beautiful strings added. I also love the neutral colours of the room and the soft lighting on everyone. A very elegantly done video to boot!

  2. Repentance grows as faith grows. Do not make any mistake about it; repentance is not a thing of days and weeks, a temporary penance to be got over as fast as possible! No; it is the grace of a lifetime, like faith itself. God's little children repent, and so do the young men and the fathers. Repentance is the inseparable companion of faith. Amazing love that.. Another thing that jumps is the Cello is so spot on! Keep fighting the good fight~ Well Done!

  3. Hey, Matt, I saw you last year in Conroe.
    Only one question: Do you write songs to honor Mary and the faith of 20 centuries in our Church, or you are ashamed of…? Do you write for catholics, as well, or just for non-catholics christians, as it seems…? With all do respect.
    Blessings.

  4. love love LOVE Matt's version of this song!!!!!! Such a powerful song full of so much healing. Thank God I can run to Him again and again and again….. He's NEVER ashamed of me or what I have done! It's His loving kindness that leads me to repentance!
