Verse 1
Take a look in this heart of mine
Past the empty longing you will find
A wayward soul that’s lost
Left Your presence, I ran away
Chased after what I thought would stay
Not knowing all the cost
Pre-chorus
And now I’m so far from home
Worn out and all alone
But when I turn around
I see You standing there
Chorus 1
I wanna run I wanna run
Into the open arms of love
Your grace is all the covering I need
Verse 2
In the Father’s heart I see
Perfect love reaching out for me
To save me from myself
In His love I find peace
The only One who could ever meet my need
I’m ruined for all else
Chorus 2
I wanna run I wanna run
Into the open arms of love
Your grace is all the covering I need
This Prodigal Son
Returns to the One
Who gave His very life for me
His grace is all the covering I need
Bridge
What once was dead is now alive
All that’s lost has been found
Behold in Him all things are new
A wayward soul finds the truth
