I packed my bags and I cleared the state line
Said I don't need your hands or your bread or your wine
Thought I could carve my own path in the dust
Left all that praying behind in the rust
Ten winters gone and the cold settled in
Trading my heart for the shadows of win
Broken down wallets and lovers who leave
Now I've forgotten how I used to breathe (hummmmm)
Then my phone lit up with a name from the past
Her voice in a message,
a lifeline at last She said,
Son, I still pray for you
I am running back to the river Running home to the grace
I denied I've been searching the world for a savior
When He was right there by my side Take me back to
the altar of peace (oh take me home)
Driving all night through the rain and the black
No more excuses, I'm not looking back
I walked through the doors as the sun started to rise
Falling to my knees,
tears in my eyes (hahhhh) I am home
Lord, I've been searching everywhere
Now I find my peace (hallelujah)
