Why do I run away?
Why do I go astray?
Why do I ignore this day?
Why do I run away?

I need you, Jesus, to run after me.
Take this heart of mine, set me free.

I pray that You hear me when I call.
Come and take down these walls.
I want my life to be Yours,
Only Yours.

No one can take me away from You.
No one can touch my heart the way You do.

Why do I run away, instead of running to You?
Why do I go astray, instead of seeking Your face?
Why do I ignore this day, instead of living my life?
Why do I run away from you?

I need You, Jesus, to take hold of me.
Take this heart of mine, live through me.

I pray that You hear me when I call.
Come and take down these walls.
I want my life to be Yours,
Only Yours.
