[Verse 1]
Why do I think I can hide from You?
Like You don't know where I've been
I run from the things I know are true
Then I run right back again
You see every road my feet have walked
You know every thought in my head
Still I act like I'm all alone
Like You ain't here instead
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm no different than Jonah
Trying to outrun the call
But You were waiting in the deep
When I thought I'd lost it all
[Chorus]
Why do I think I can hide from You?
You're bigger than my fears
Bigger than my wants and needs
Bigger than all these years
You see me when I'm running
You hear me when I lie
Lord, how do You put up with me
When I can't even tell You why?
Why do I think I can hide?
[Verse 2]
If I were You, I'd have been done
With a selfish man like me
I'd have shut the door a long time back
And thrown away the key
But You keep calling through my pride
You keep pulling me back home
You know the worst of who I am
And You still won't leave me alone
[Chorus]
Why do I think I can hide from You?
You're bigger than my fears
Bigger than my wants and needs
Bigger than all these years
You see me when I'm running
You hear me when I lie
Lord, how do You put up with me
When I can't even tell You why?
Why do I think I can hide?
[Bridge]
On my best day, when I'm trying
To be the man You want me to be
I'm still nowhere near good enough
Still chasing what I can't see
But You sent Your only perfect Son
To rescue a fool like me
Took my cross and carried my shame
And gave me mercy I didn't earn or deserve
[Verse 3]
So Lord, give me a little more strength
When my stubborn heart says run
Help me want what You want for me
Till Your will and mine are one
I know I'll never understand
What You see in a man like me
But if You still call me Yours, Lord
Then that's where I want to be
[Final Chorus]
Why do I think I can hide from You?
You're bigger than my fears
Bigger than my wants and needs
You've stayed through all these years
You see me when I'm running
You find me every time
And somehow through my selfishness
Your love still calls me mine
[Outro]
Lord, how do You put up with me?
I'll never understand
What You see in a selfish man
But here I am, Lord...
Here I am.
