       F#m                        D
Do you feel Him in your heartbeat even
                   A E
when you're running?
                     F#m
You try to drown Him out with your life
          D                    A E
but you still hear Him calling

With a voice you’ve never heard
but it sounds like home, home
You try to shut it out but you
feel it in your bones
And it won't leave you alone

Chorus:
F#m  D                A
His love is inescapable
      E                F#m
His presence is unshakable
       D                          A
Right now you don't believe it's true
   E                  F#m
A better day is coming
               D                     A
And you don't need another place to hide
       E                        F#m
He'll find you in your darkest night
     D                     A
His love is holding on to you
                       F#m D A
Even when you're running
E                      F#m D A E
Even when you're running

As a kid you said your prayers,
now they're bouncing off the ceiling
They took your world away when you
trusted Him for healing

He's no stranger to your heartbreak,
He knows how it feels to lose, oh
From the garden to the cross,
He's been chasing after you
He’s chasing after you

Chorus

     F#m
Your fear isn't dark enough
      D
Your pit isn't deep enough
      A
Your lie isn't loud enough
    E
To keep Him away from you
    F#m
The Father made the way for you
     D
The Son killed the grave for you
          A
Let His Spirit come alive in you
         E
Are you tired of the running?
     F#m
The Father made the way for you
     D
The Son killed the grave for you
          A
Let His Spirit come alive in you
         E
Are you tired of the running?

Chorus

     F#m
It's time to stop running now
           D
You don't have to have it figured out
         A
All you need to do is turn around
         E                      A
And the Father will come running
