I’ve been running

(Verse 1)

My mission comes from heaven, yeah, it’s written from above,

I’ve been searching for a vision, when I should be searching for His love.

Been lookin’ for a sign, when the scripture’s callin’ me,

He said, “Take that step of faith, boy… I’ll be everything you need.”

(bridge)

But I’ve been runnin’, runnin’, runnin’ far away,

Tryna hide from the truth, but You’re there every day.

And the more I keep on runnin’, the more that pain remains,

Lord, how can I heal my heart… if I won’t walk through someone else’s rain?

(Chorus)

I’m tired of the storm… tired of the wind,

Tired of the same old hurt again and again.

When I run from You, Lord, my life falls apart—

Storms flood my soul and drown out my heart.

But You calm every wave when I call Your name,

And You turn all my trials into purpose again.

Lord, I surrender… come and calm my storm.

(Verse)

I’ve been slippin’ down the mountain, goin’ lower every day,

Yeah, it’s easy fallin’ down, but it’s so hard climbin’ faith’s highway.

Every step I take without You just brings the thunder rollin’ in,

And the storms I start inside me… become hurricanes again.

(Bridge)

And sometimes I cause my own rain fallin’,

Get caught in storms that ain’t my callin’.

I gotta stop the hurt, stop the habits, stop the pain,

‘Cause the longer I keep runnin’, Lord… the harder hits the rain.

(Chorus)

I’m tired of the storm… tired of the wind,

Tired of the same old hurt again and again.

When I run from You, Lord, my life falls apart—

Storms flood my soul and drown out my heart.

But You calm every wave when I call Your name,

And You turn all my trials into purpose again.

Lord, I surrender… come and calm my storm.

(Bridge )

“You see… sometimes the storm I’m facing…

Is the one I created.

And, Lord, I know I can’t get my peace, my joy, my hope…

Till I give it all back to You.

So right now… I’m done runnin’. I’m comin’ home.”

When I follow Your plan, unbelievers see,

When I walk in peace, Lord, they follow me.

‘Cause peace ain’t something you can buy—

It’s the gift of the Most High.

(Final Chorus big emotional)

I’m done with the storm… done with the pain,

Done drownin’ in the flood of my own shame.

When I run from You, Lord, everything goes wrong—

But You lift me up and make me strong.

You calm the seas, You quiet the night,

You guide my heart back into the light.

Lord, I surrender…

Come and calm my storm.
