Run Me Free

[Verse 1]
I been driving these back roads
Heart heavy as a midnight storm
Been trying to sing on Sunday
But my faith feels tired and torn
[Verse 2]
She said, “Baby, I’ve been crying
On the bathroom floor at three
I keep praying, I keep waiting
For the chains to finally leave”
[Chorus]
God, please take this pain away
Every tear, every hidden ache
Lift this weight that’s crushing me
Break these shackles at my feet
God, I’m begging on my knees
Let me run free, let me run free
Let me run free
[Verse 3]
He said, “I remember Mama
Hands raised in that little church
Singing, ‘Grace will find you’
Even when the whole world hurts”
[Bridge]
If You can split a sea wide open (oh Lord)
If You can calm a raging tide
Then You can heal this broken heart here
Turn this valley into life
[Chorus]
God, please take this pain away
Every tear, every hidden ache
Lift this weight that’s crushing me
Break these shackles at my feet
God, I’m crying, can You see?
Let me run free, let me run free
Let me run free
[Chorus]
God, please take this pain away
Every fear, every failed day
Hold Your children, hold us close
We’re still trusting, You still know
God, we’re kneeling, you and me (together)
Let us run free, let us run free
Let us run free
[Outro]
‘Til I cross that final river
‘Til Your arms are holding me
I’ll keep praying in this valley
“Lord, let me run
Let me run free”
