Hook
Lord I run to You
When left to my devices
I don’t think I can make another day
I put my trust in You
For I know you always hear me when I pray
Well it’s the same old me
sometimes I feel I’m in a cage and can’t break free
I feel I’m stuck on the same page for days
Like I’m in high school and I can’t make the grade
and when I drive at night
I look up in the sky and don’t see no light
and even though the moon and the stars are exactly where they are
I’m still far from my final destination
And upon further investigation of my heart
it’s clear to me the night’s a metaphor for my life
Well at least in this moment
But see a moment lasts forever when you’re severed from the Alpha and Omega
and you didn’t even know it
and if you saw me on the daily you would say I didn’t show it
but yo don’t get it twisted
cause just because a brotha gifted don’t mean he uplifted
It don’t mean he ain’t a misfit
it could mean he just a strugglin christian who spit sick
so with the quickness I relinquish my control
Or lack thereof and just let it go
Hook
Lord I run to You
When left to my devices
I don’t think I can make another day
I put my trust in You
For I know you always hear me when I pray
who am I that you consider me
that you prepare me a table in the presence of my enemies is a mystery
I know my history
it’s quite a vision my sin is ever before me
Lord - Who am I that you would send me
beyond the call I’m in awe that you would befriend me
If I were You... honestly I would end me
but you restore me, revive me and cleanse me
Here I stand empty, bankrupt, hands up
Feel you getting closer as the music gettin cranked up
“Stand up” You say
New mercy for new day
I believed a lie regardless of what the truth say
This is where you want me
This is where I need to be
Humble in submission a position jesus teaches me
Oh that I would be like the least of these
Give me the peace to become a humble beast to these

Beauty and the Beast at the very beginning of the track, then a Christ-integrated message to top it all off. Nostalgic and Beautiful. To add more to the pie, the song and what it relates to is perfectly fitting for the theme of beauty in the midst of beastliness. It's just dope.
Thank God for this song. Donovan Lewis
