“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
