Running to Me

You'd think I'd know by now that I can't do this by myself
You'd think I'd learn by now to look to you when I need help
But here I am again, with dirty hands, knelt on the ground
Afraid to look at you, knowing I have let you down

When I look at myself and see all my flaws, my weaknesses
When I judge myself to be unworthy of graces and forgiveness
You break out of the image I created you in

And I see you running to me, running to me with your arms wide
I see you running to me, running to me with your arms wide
And there's no condemnation in you, just an invitation to start anew
Oh you're running to me, running to me, running to me
With your arms wide

The story in your word is of this a thousand times
A thousand different ways we left your love behind
But in our brokenness and weakness, you are strength, you are grace
Instead of being turned away, when I look at you, I see your face

When you reach out your arms to me, as unclean as I am
Your scars still there to see, the marks of victory on your hands
You break out of the image I created you in

And I see you running to me, running to me with your arms wide
I see you running to me, running to me with your arms wide
And there's no condemnation in you, just an invitation to start anew
Oh you're running to me, running to me, running to me
With your arms wide

You don't hold me down and force me to learn
You'd rather sit with me and my tears in the dirt
Oh, your touch is gentle, your love is humble
And you take me as I am, and help you know you better
As you break out of the image I created you in

And I see you running to me, running to me with your arms wide
I see you running to me, running to me with your arms wide
And there's no condemnation in you, just an invitation to start anew
Oh you're running to me, running to me with your arms wide
I see you running to me, running to me with your arms wide
And there's no condemnation in you, just an invitation to start anew
Oh you're running to me, running to me, running to me
With your arms wide
