Runner Lyrics By Jordan Merritt

Verse 1

I know the song that says
I’m prone to wander
But I like to think I know
Where this road leads
I’m on a search for heaven
When I leave You
Just to find that hell’s
Where I’m alone with me
I’m angry like the father
That you gave me
And stubborn like the one
You gave to him
So how could You expect me
Just to trust You
When You know that I’m afraid
You’re just like them

Chorus

I’m a runner I’m a chaser
I’m a lover
Of all the things
That pull me from Your side
But You tell me that
You love me like no other
And maybe one day
I’ll believe You’re right

Verse 2

I know I’ll have to pay
For what I’m doing
The preacher says that
Justice must be done
I know the things I’ve done
Have made You angry
But the Bible says
You’ve placed that on Your Son
I’m fearless on my best
And on my worst days
It’s hard to think
You see through that facade
You know I run
‘Cause I’m afraid of living
But life without Your love’s
Just a mirage

Chorus

I’m a runner I’m a chaser
I’m a lover
Of all the things
That pull me from Your side
But You tell me that
You love me like no other
And maybe one day
I’ll believe You’re right

Verse 3

There’s a thousand other places
I would run to
Before I dared to
Look You in the eyes
But there’s something in Your gaze
That makes me wonder
If You’ve really loved me
This way all this time

Chorus

I’m a runner I’m a chaser
I’m a lover
Of all the things
That pull me from Your side
But You tell me that
You love me like no other
I’m starting to believe
You may be right

Tag

And there’s nothing that
Can take me from Your sight
