“I RAN, BUT I CAME HOME”

Intro (Choir, soft then swelling)

Mmm…

Ohhh…

I’m coming home

Verse 1

I spent years outrunnin’ what was callin’ my name

Chasin’ every answer but avoidin’ the flame

I climbed all the hills I could see with my eyes

Still felt the echo of an unanswered cry

I told myself I didn’t need that light

That I was strong enough to win my fights

But the higher I went, the more I knew

I was missin’ the truth

Pre-Chorus (lift, choir humming)

Every road I took alone

Still led me back to hope

Chorus (Big, long notes, full choir)

I will cliiiimb every mouuuntain

I will faaaace every feeeear

‘Cause the loooove I was runnin’ from

Has been waiiiting right heeere

I was loooost but not forgoootten

I was faaaar but still knooown

I ran from my faaith

But it led me hoooome

Verse 2

I wore my pride like a crown of gold

Said I was fine, but my heart said no

Every victory felt empty inside

Without Your truth standin’ by my side

When the silence got louder than cheers

I felt You whisper through my tears

Not in anger, not in blame

But calling me by name

Pre-Chorus (stronger)

Even when I turned away

Your mercy stayed

Chorus (Bigger, choir answers lead)

I will cliiiimb every mouuuntain

I will faaaace every feeeear

‘Cause the loooove I was runnin’ from

Has been waiiiting right heeere

I was loooost but not forgoootten

I was faaaar but still knooown

I ran from my faaith

But it led me hoooome

(Choir response: “Led me home… led me home…”)

Bridge (Drop, then massive rise)

I thought freedom meant walkin’ away

But I found chains in every escape

Surrender was the bravest step

I ever made

(Choir builds)

I’m coming back

I’m coming back

Final Chorus (MAX power, choir fills the room)

I will cliiiimb every mouuuntain

Till my souuul stands cleeeear

Every step is a teeeestimony

That You never leeeft me heeere

I was brooooken but You heeeld me

I was weaak, You were strooong

I ran from my faaith

But it led me hoooome

Outro (Choir sustain, uplifting)

Ohhh…

I’m home

I’m home
