You’re calling; i’m running away.
Because I’m afraid to hear.
I’m taking this plane to get me out of Your way.
I don’t want to interfere

    So many times I’ve tried and let You down,
    You call my name and I just turn around.
    I’m too afraid to hear the words they’ll say
    Don’t want to be afflicted,
    don’t want to feel the pain
    I try to hide, I try to hide my face
    And yet You’re there, You’re always on my case
    Detecting me; finding and pulling me
    outta my hole to go out and make a change.

Don’t run away. He wants you to stay
Don’t be afraid. Don’t hide your face

    I know I supposed to tell everyone about You
    The things You’ve done and You’ve been through
    How You lived; how You died on the cross
    Taking our sins away.
    Showing Your love; showing You cared

You can run but you cannot hide
Won’t take long for Him to find you
You can run but you cannot hide from God
You can run but you cannot hide
He’ll follow you the whole time
You can run but you cannot hide from God

    How many times will I run and let you down?
    What will it take to pull me out of the ground?
    A smallest whisper that’s impossible to ignore?
    A limit of 40 days before someone loses their soul?
    The smallest things explode and scare me away
    Is it an excuse to say that I’m afraid?
    Afraid to tell a stranger what You have in mind
    Afraid of questions with answers I cannot find?

I’m running like Jonah now I see what he ran from
I wonder, what will swallow me
You call me Your servant, yet I don’t believe it
I’m just a runaway puzzle piece

    Why are you running away?
    Can’t you see you’re in His hands?
    Why do you fear the hate of man?
    In their state they won’t remain

What if they hurt me?  What if they kill me?
What if they leave me here to die?
