That weapon formed against me, but it ain't gon' never prosper
I flee temptations, but in the distance, I hear them calling
Why do I run when I hear that a perfect Father knocking?
That weapon formed against me, but it ain't gon' never prosper
I flee temptations, but in the distance, I hear them calling
Why do I run when I hear that a perfect Father knocking?
Why would I run when I know that my perfect Father wants me?
I praise the Lord again
Tell me why I'm fighting this feeling, I gotta run again
Tell me why I'm desparate for energy but not plugging in
Tell me why I'm blocking His message with all my wondering
I-
I like to talk a lot
But I ain't talking to my Father, and I haven't gotten far
I ain't dipping in my Bible, matter fact, it needs a dust
When I see Jesus all around me, I just pull the covers up
And it's enough
Tell me why I'm lying, it's a bluff
Tell me why I tell myself that I will never measure up
Tell me why my Father chose to send His one and only son
And when He died, and came to life for me, that still wasn't enough?
I really pray that I could get back on track again
I really pray that I don't feel like I gotta pretend
I really pray that I can keep myself from giving in
Given all these blessings, blessed to even get a glimpse of Him
Jesus saw me slip away and left the door open for me
Jesus made another way when it got cold, dark, and stormy
Jesus took away my pain when I was feeling unworthy
So I will praise His holy name all through the night 'til the morning
That weapon formed against me, but it ain't gon' never prosper
I flee temptations, but in the distance, I hear them calling
Why do I run when I hear that a perfect Father knocking?
Why would I run when I know that my perfect Father wants me?
Who would I call if it wasn't on Jesus?
What would I learn if it wasn't 'bout Jesus?
When would I dance if it wasn't my Jesus?
Where would I go if it wasn't with Jesus?
Why would I run if it wasn't to Jesus?
How would I live if it wasn't for Jesus?
Can't do this life if it isn't with Jesus.
Can't do it right if it isn't for Jesus.
That weapon formed against me, but it ain't gon' never prosper
I flee temptations, but in the distance, I hear them calling
Why do I run when I hear that a perfect Father knocking?
Why would I run when I know that my perfect Father wants me?
