Verse 1
I know Your name, I know Your truth
I lift my hands, I sing of You
But when my guard is torn away
There’s a war inside of me
Two voices calling out my name
One leads to life, one feeds my shame
Pre-Chorus
I hate the sin I say I don’t want
Yet there I go again
Lord, if I’m honest before Your throne
I’m weaker than I pretend
Chorus
My heart runs after lesser loves
Trades You for things that fade
Like a bride who leaves her vows behind
For promises cheaply made
I don’t sell myself for silver or gold
But for pleasures far below
Still You love me, still You stay
When I’m chasing broken paths
Verse 2
I’ve tasted grace, I’ve known Your peace
Still crave the fruit that poisons me
I dress my sin in softer words
Call it freedom, though it hurts
But You see through my excuses, Lord
Every motive, every door
Pre-Chorus
I confess what I’d rather hide
What I’d never say out loud
My heart has wandered just like hers
A faithless, desperate bride
Chorus
My heart runs after lesser loves
Trades You for things that fade
Like a bride who leaves her vows behind
For promises cheaply made
I don’t sell myself for silver or gold
But for pleasures far below
Still You love me, still You stay
When I’m chasing broken paths
Bridge
Yet You’re the God who brought me home
Not with coins but with Your blood
You call me Yours though I’ve been untrue
You name me clean though I was mud
Where sin abounds, Your mercy speaks
Louder than my deepest need
Bridge (Soft / Worshipful)
You don’t turn away in disgust
You don’t loosen Your embrace
You don’t love the lie I choose
But You love me in this place
Final Chorus
So take this heart that loves to stray
Break what I can’t break myself
Teach me to want what pleases You
More than cheap and empty help
I lay my wandering soul down now
At the foot of Calvary
Faithless once, now held by grace
Forever bought, forever free
Outro
Not because I stayed faithful
But because You did.
