Lyrics
[Intro]
[Low male choir]
I kept running
He kept calling
I let go
He held on
[Verse 1]
I spent years trying to carry my name
Building my life on my pride and pain
Thought being strong meant standing alone
Till the walls came down in the place called home
I had love in my hands, let it slip through the cracks
Said words I couldn’t ever take back
From the West Coast road to the East Texas pines
I was changing my address, not changing my mind
Kept chasing tomorrow, kept losing today
Had a wife and two children watching me stray
I didn’t know peace, I just played that role
Had the whole world talking, but an empty soul
[Pre-Chorus]
Then He met me low
Where nobody goes
Said, “You don’t have to hide
Lay that old life down tonight”
[Chorus]
I ran from God, but He never let me go
Through every broken promise and every heavy road
When I lost my way, He left the light on
I thought I walked alone, but He was there all along
Now my hands are lifted, and my knees hit the floor
I’m not the man I was anymore
This is my story, this is my song
I ran from God, but He held on
[Verse 2]
It was winter when the truth broke through
No lightning in the sky, just a heart made new
I opened that Bible and it opened me
Showed the chains I wore and the man I could be
Went down in the water on an April day
Left the old me buried and I rose up changed
He put breath in our vows, brought love back home
Turned a house divided into flesh and bone
Now I pray with my children, stand beside my wife
Trying every morning to lead them right
I still fall short, still fight my pride
But grace walks with me on the workingman’s side
[Pre-Chorus]
When the fear comes close
And the hard wind blows
I hear Heaven say
“Son, just walk by faith”
[Chorus]
I ran from God, but He never let me go
Through every broken promise and every heavy road
When I lost my way, He left the light on
I thought I walked alone, but He was there all along
Now my hands are lifted, and my knees hit the floor
I’m not the man I was anymore
This is my story, this is my song
I ran from God, but He held on
[Bridge]
[Call and response]
Who found me?
(Jesus did)
Who changed me?
(Jesus did)
Who healed a home I thought was gone?
(Jesus did, and He held on)
When sickness comes and the future’s unclear
I know my Savior is already here
No matter the valley, no matter how long
I may lose strength, but He holds on
[Final Chorus]
[Full gospel choir]
I ran from God, but He never let me go
Through every broken promise and every heavy road
When I lost my way, He left the light on
I thought I walked alone, but He was there all along
Now my wife stands with me, and my children know
There’s a Father in Heaven wherever we go
This is my testimony, this is my song
I ran from God, but He held on
[Outro]
[Choir fading]
I let go
He held on
I was lost
Now I’m home
