lyrics
RUNNIN’ AWAY FROM SIN
A //// | ////
STANDIN’ AT THE BORDER OF MY LIFE OF SIN,
F#m //// | ////
LOOKING TO THE PROMISED LIFE OF BEING BORN AGAIN
D2 //// | E ////
I’M TIRED OF FIGHTING, AND THE STRUGGLE WITHIN
D2 //// | E //// | ////
I’M TIRED OF HIDING; I SURRENDER TO HIM
Chorus:
A //// | F#m ////
RUNNIN’ AWAY, RUNNIN’ AWAY FROM SIN
D2 //// | E ////
EVERYWHERE I GO, THERE’S A BATTLE WITHIN
| A //// | F#m ////
I’M RUNNIN’ THE RACE, RUNNIN’ THE RACE TO WIN
D2 //// | E2 ////
I KNOW MY LORD WILL KEEP ME TO THE END
D2 //// | E2 ////
I’M RUNNIN’ FROM THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD;
| D2 //// | E2 ////
I’M RUNNIN’, I LEAVE THE SELF BEHIND
| D2 //// | E2 ////
I’M RUNNIN’, KEEPIN’ MY EYES ON THE PRIZE,
| C2 //// | ////
I’M RUNNIN’
THERE IS NO TIME TO WASTE, MY FRIEND;
YOU CAN COME AND JOIN ME
IN THIS JOURNEY I’VE JUST BEGUN
THERE IS AMAZING GRACE THAT YOU CAN RECEIVE
TO WASH AWAY YOUR SINS, IF YOU JUST BELIEVE
