Again and again and again!

This morning my song came from Cody Carnes. “Run to The Father”. The phrase, “so I’ll run to the father again and again and again” is what caught my attention. The thought occured to me that I can run to the father any time that I need to. When I’m in trouble or just when I want to be near Him. Being saved isn’t about coming to the father once, it’s about returning again and again and again.

I love the phrase in the song, “fall into grace”. It sounds like a place of security and comfort. It’s also a place of trust. It makes me think of a trust fall, that activity where you fall backwards into someone’s arms and never fear that they will catch you. Falling into grace is falling into the father’s arms. He will never let you fall. When your soul needs a friend you can always run to the father, again and again and again!

As I’ve pondered this song today, my heart feels like it has found it’s surgeon and that grace is where I want to dwell.

Lyrics

I’ve carried a burden
For too long on my own
I wasn’t created
To bear it alone
I hear Your invitation
To let it all go
Yeah, I see it now
I’m laying it down
And I know that I need You I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I’m done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I’ll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh You saw my condition
Had a plan from the start
Your Son for redemption
The price for my heart
And I don’t have a context
For that kind of love
I don’t understand
I can’t comprehend
All I know is I need You I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I’m done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I’ll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again Oh-oh, oh-oh, again and again
And again and again
Oh-oh, oh-oh (oh-oh)My heart has been in Your sights
Long before my first breath
Running into Your arms
Is running to life from death
And I feel this rush deep in my chest
Your mercy is calling out
Just as I am You pull me in
And I know I need You now I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I’m done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I’ll run to the Father
Again and again I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I’m done with the hiding
No reason to wait
And my heart found a surgeon
My soul found a friend
So I’ll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again Oh-oh, oh-oh, again and again
And again and again
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Again and again
