LYRICS:

I’ve carried a burden for too long on my own
I wasn’t created to bear it alone
I hear Your invitation
To let it all go
I see it now
I’m laying it down
I know that I need You

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I’m done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I’ll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again

You saw my condition
Had a plan from the start
Your Son for redemption
The price for my heart
I don’t have a context
For that kind of love
I don’t understand
I can’t comprehend
All I know is I need You

My heart has been in Your sights
Long before my first breath
Running into Your arms
Is running to life from death
I feel this rush deep in my chest
Your mercy is calling out
Just as I am You pull me in
I know I need You now

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I’m done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I’ll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again

I'm not religious but I find this as one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard.. I can't hold back my tears, . Jesus, I badly need you now

[WorshipNight]

I was born in a Muslim family ...but the love that I have in my heart for Jesus Christ is huge ..I can proudly say that I am a Christian now and GOD has shown that he loves me too...

4 years clean and sober by the grace of God to God be the glory

It’s not religion anymore. Just a relationship between a father and his children.

GOD doesn't want you to be religious just have relationship with Him

I've just realized God's amazing answer to my prayer a few years ago when I asked Him to teach me how to love Him.

Months ago, I have experienced the most anxiety, fear, pressure, and doubts in my life regarding my self and my future. However, it was during this time when I truly met and became closer to God.

He showed me how there is no need to worry for He is with me every step of the way and that He will take care of me--His beloved child. True enough, it turned out that I didn't have to worry at all because everything turned out well in the end.

Now, everytime I pray, I can tell Him: "I love you Lord" from the bottom of my heart.

Maybe sometimes, we experience difficult times in our lives so God can teach us how to rely on Him, how to be closer to Him, how to trust Him, and how to love him.

Thank you Lord for answering my prayer, I love you 😊

[JohnChapter]

I've been a believer my whole life, but I've never had a relationship with Him. And when I realized how long He waited for me, it was overwhelming. I had so much joy!!!

my heart needs a surgeon, my soul needs a friend. So I will run to the father again, and again, and again!✨🥳💞

yesterday morning at a youth group retreat we learned this song. The line “My soul needs a friend” really means something to me and I couldn’t figure out why. During our large group sessions I learned a lot about how we tend to put so much trust in worldly things and I started thinking about the kind of things I put so much emphasis on. I thought about how I kind of just let my Christian friends be my focus as opposed to God. So we sang that song again last night and it started to make sense, and I realized that God is literally my friend. I don’t know how I’ve never thought of Him like that. After the last session we had the opportunity to go pray with someone, but I decided to just go into a room alone. I took time to talk to God and just God. I’ve always known that prayer was supposed to be a conversation but I never really thought that while I was doing it. Last night I genuinely felt like I was talking directly to God and felt Him respond. I even left the room when I thought I was done and right before I went back in to keep worshiping I just turned around and went back into the room because I felt myself forgetting what I just experienced and I felt like I was leaving God in there??? I turned the lights off and kept going trying to figure what I was looking for. After a while I figured out that I always feel like whenever I’m out in public God is just kinda sitting there behind me encouraging me. I realized that God is always like there alone with me inside, even if I’m talking to friends, because no matter what I’m doing, it’s only me and God who know what’s going on in my head, heck sometimes it’s just God. When I left the room the second time I didn’t feel alone again and I feel so much more personally close to God. I feel like I’m speaking with and having one on one time with him as opposed to just being one of the many other people talking to him in the moment.

That took way too long put into words lol

It was seriously so awesome.

my pastor said it was cool if i learned this song and sang it on our Sunday service... I've been singing for about 4 services now it was my first time ever singing with a praise and worship group i really injoy it a lot was a little shy at first i admit but when the spirit starts to move and all you see is Jesus it has become the easiest thing in the world 🌎.thank you Cody and Kari you guys rock! i thank Jesus for you guys.

May the song minister to whoever you are, listening right now. May His Presence fill your room and your heart as you receive comfort in His Love and assurance for your life. Believe Him. Trust Him. His plans are purposed enternally for you.

I need a church home and fellowship with saints. Please pray for me that God remove the obstacles in my life to make this so.
