The Sin of Tom, The Love of God
I Ran Away
I ran away
To appease a lying mind
To escape from reality
From life so unkind
I ran away as fast as I could run
Fearing the crushing light
I ran away to avoid the Son
Revealing the comfort of my night
I lived life believing I could win
Shame, guilt, the isolating of others
Too late realizing the error of my sins
Came the grief willed upon my brothers
Then the laser power of love pierced this, my spiritual night
A portion melded this steel-hardened heart
The way was flooded with awesome Holy light
I ran from the one who loves me
Like a coward, a thief from his crime
I ran from a life once honored
Till God said, “Not your will, but mine”
Shame, guilt, the isolating of others
Too late realizing the error of my sins
Came the grief willed upon my brothers
Then the laser power of love pierced this, my spiritual night
A portion melded this steel-hardened heart
The way was flooded with awesome Holy light
I ran from the one who loves me
Like a coward, a thief from his crime
I ran from a life once honored
Till God said, “Not your will, but mine”
Heb 13:5-65 (NIV)
...because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"
