Cause when you run

(Verse 1)

My life mission ain’t mine alone,

It comes from Heaven, comes from Home.

Been lookin’ for a sign in the midnight sky,

But God said, “Son, read the Word, not the why.”

I’ve been fightin’ pain with a busted heart,

But how’s it heal if I don’t play my part?

Can’t outrun grace though I try sometimes—

God’s everywhere, even in my bad lines.

(Bridge)

And when I run, I pay the cost,

Every step downhill, every blessing lost.

Storm winds rise when I turn my back,

And the folks I love take the hardest crack.

(Chorus)

’Cause when you run from God, life falls apart,

Feels like a hurricane hittin’ your heart.

You can stir up a storm with your own two hands,

Sinkin’ down deeper in the shifting sand.

But peace don’t come from a bottle or a pill—

Only from the One who can whisper, “Be still.”

Yeah, the purpose is bigger than the pain you got,

And the storm calms down when you quit runnin’ from God.

(Verse 2)

Stay outta folks’ business, don’t borrow their rain,

Don’t let your habits keep callin’ your name.

The longer you’re runnin’, the darker it gets,

The waves hit harder with every regret.

All that floodwater turned my rock to mud,

Till I cried out for mercy in the rising flood.

When I listen close, things start to shift—

God’s voice hits harder than a miner’s pick.

(Bridge)

Can’t fix the storm till you face the truth:

Sometimes the thunder’s comin’ straight from you.

But if you take that step, if you let God in,

He’ll show you grace where the hurt’s been.

(Chorus)

’Cause when you run from God, life falls apart,

Feels like a hurricane hittin’ your heart.

You can stir up a storm with your own two hands,

Sinkin’ down deeper in the shifting sand.

But peace don’t come from a bottle or a pill—

Only from the One who can whisper, “Be still.”

Yeah, the purpose is bigger than the pain you got,

And the storm calms down when you quit runnin’ from God.

(Bridge)

When you follow His plan, unbelievers see

That peace ain’t bought—it's lived out free.

We’re all like sheep that wander away,

But mercy comes runnin’ when we finally pray.

(Chorus)

’Cause when you run from God, life falls apart,

Feels like a hurricane hittin’ your heart.

You can stir up a storm with your own two hands,

Sinkin’ down deeper in the shifting sand.

But peace don’t come from a bottle or a pill—

Only from the One who can whisper, “Be still.”

Yeah, the purpose is bigger than the pain you got,

And the storm calms down when you quit runnin’ from God.

(Final Chorus)

So if you’re tired of runnin’ from a hurt or a name,

From a habit, a regret, or a long-lost flame,

Lift your hands up high and let God steer—

He can calm any storm you fear.

Yeah, be who He made you, stand in that light—

Let Him turn your battles into somethin’ right.

’Cause the purpose is bigger than the pain you’ve got,

And the storm finally ends when you stop runnin’ from God.
