Run To The Father - Cody Carnes

We were made as a beautiful creation to make beautiful creations. We were not created to be on our own. We were created to be with our Father, as well as with other people.

My heart needs a surgeon, my soul needs a friend - as I find myself stuck in a cycle of shame, over things I've done, over my inadequacies, I find it so easy to feel that I have a need for a surgeon to remove the horrible things, but how hard it is for me to realize that I need a friend. That God loves me, that he wants to be my friend. You saw my condition, had a plan at the start, Your Son for redemption, the price for my heart and I don't have a context for that kind of love. God is not shocked by our condition, He has a plan, and a kind of love that we don't even have a context for in our wildest dreams.

Run to His heart - run to life from death... just as you are!


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

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, again and again
And again and again
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, again and again
And again and again
Oh, oh, oh
Again and again
