I hid behind the car and you found me there.
I hid behind the desk and chair, you found me there.
I hid underneath the bed and somehow you found me there.
It doesn’t matter where I hide you find me anywhere.

I’m stuck with you.
No matter where I go or what I do.
In no way is that a bad thing,
Just sometimes I want to be alone.
Saying that aloud makes me understand how I much I need you as my home.

I run away to places where I think you cannot see me.
Not that I stop the things I do but because it makes me feel less guilty.

I had my face in shame
For having the audacity to call Your name.
I am sinner and there is no one else to blame.

But please I ask you to forgive me,
Because I know I am so wrong.
I just haven’t figured out who I am
And haven’t been myself in so long.

I’m crying all the time,
Can’t wake up.
Drugs, ***, crime.

I’ve turned in the person who for so long I tried to lose, not find.

Instead I want to find myself in you,
I can’t do this on my own.
I’m crying out to You, Dear God!
Please make my heart Your home.
I feel distant from God because I’m disobeying His word. I want to feel closer to Him again and stop living in sin. I want to be with Him.
