It's been a long time running down a dead-end road
Lookin' for that something that could fill my soul
Never found what I was searching for
It's been a long time running from a messed-up past
But you can't go forward when you're lookin' back
But I ain't looking back anymore, oh-oh
He called my name (He called my name)
And He stole my shame (He stole my shame)
Everything changed when I came running home
(I'm running, I'm running home)
Out of the dark (out of the dark)
Into His arms (into His arms)
No more running away, I'm running home
I'm running, I'm running home
I'm running, I'm running home
No more running in circles tryna be good enough
I'm far from perfect, but I found perfect love
In the arms that won't let go
Got a heart on fire, got a wind at my back
Singing Hallelujah, I am free at last
Every day I'm running home
He called my name (He called my name)
And He stole my shame (He stole my shame)
Everything changed when I came running home
(I'm running, I'm running home)
Out of the dark (out of the dark)
Into His arms (into His arms)
No more running away, I'm running home
I'm running, I'm running home
I'm running, I'm running home
I'm running, I'm running home
Gonna run this race 'til my final step
Gonna sing this song 'til my final breath
Let the weight of this world go
Gonna be no tears, gonna be no pain
And when I see that smile on my Savior's face
I won't be walking, I'll be running home
He called my name (He called my name)
And He stole my shame (He stole my shame)
Everything changed when I came running home
(I'm running, I'm running home)
Out of the dark (out of the dark)
Into His arms (into His arms)
No more running away, I'm running home
I'm running, I'm running home
I'm running, I'm running home
I'm running, I'm running home
Everything changed when I came running home
I'm running, I'm running home
I'm running, I'm running home
I'm running, I'm running home (yeah, I'm running home)
