I don't wanna run away

Sometimes I feel I wanna break free
I wanna go my own way
I wanna do things my way
I wanna do my will instead of Your's
I wanna.......

But still my spirit cries out to You
I don't wanna run away!!!
I don't wanna run away!!!
Embrace me with Your unfailing love
and help me again on the right track!

Please, Lord, flood me with mercy and grace
Fold your loving arms around me
Help me back into Your will
Show me your ways, so that I can walk
upon it and never run away
You have done great things in my life,
How can I run away from Your love?

Wash my sins clean with Your blood, Jesus
and help me understand Your love and mercy

Hear my spirit cries out to You
I don't wanna run away, run away....
I want to run into Your loving arms
and stay in Your love and will and mercy
forever and ever and ever

Fill my dry spirit with more of the Holy Spirit
so that I can never want to have my way
'cause without You I'm useless

Hear my dry spirit cries out to You
I don't wanna run away, run away
I wanna stay in Your kingdom authority
I want to stay in the Light

Help me understand You
For You still love me, You still wash my sins away
You still show Your grace and mercy
and You still picked me up when I fell

For You are God Almighty, the King of Kings
and Lord of Lords, the One worthy of our
praises and worship and lifes....

But You are the loving God
The Father God
The One who picks His fallin' children up
and show them the Way, the Truth, the Life

 You are my Father God
I love You, Father God
Thank you for all You've done for me
all the countless times You've helped me right
or picked me up or taught me something....
Thank you, Father God

I don't wanna run away, run away
I want to stay in Your loving kindness
forever and ever and ever
