[Verse 1]
I never wanted life to be easy; I just want to make it count
So in this prayer of desperation, I’m just starting to think out loud
I was never in control anyway, it’s just easier to admit on days like today
When I don’t see a sign of improvement
[Chorus]
I just want to run but I still can’t walk
Can I lean into You and find I still am strong?
The road ahead stretches far
But the promise I need is You with me to where You are
[Verse 2]
I don’t always get what I ask for because where’s the faith in that
You tell the widow keep asking; it just doesn’t make much sense
I was never in control anyway, it’s just easier to admit on days like today
When my prayers don’t have answers
[Chorus]
I just want to run but I still can’t walk
Can I lean into You and find I still am strong?
The road ahead stretches far
But the promise I need is You with me to where You are
[Bridge]
This thorn in the flesh is wearing me down
But my weakness is Your finest hour
At least that’s one thing that’s clear to me now
I don’t know the fullness of what’s down the road
But You tell me You’ve walked it before
In Your strength I will move on
[Chorus]
I just want to run but I still can’t walk
Can I lean into You and find I still am strong?
The road ahead stretches far
But the promise I need is You with me to where You are
I never wanted life to be easy; I just want to make it count
So in this prayer of desperation, I’m just starting to think out loud
I was never in control anyway, it’s just easier to admit on days like today
When I don’t see a sign of improvement
[Chorus]
I just want to run but I still can’t walk
Can I lean into You and find I still am strong?
The road ahead stretches far
But the promise I need is You with me to where You are
[Verse 2]
I don’t always get what I ask for because where’s the faith in that
You tell the widow keep asking; it just doesn’t make much sense
I was never in control anyway, it’s just easier to admit on days like today
When my prayers don’t have answers
[Chorus]
I just want to run but I still can’t walk
Can I lean into You and find I still am strong?
The road ahead stretches far
But the promise I need is You with me to where You are
[Bridge]
This thorn in the flesh is wearing me down
But my weakness is Your finest hour
At least that’s one thing that’s clear to me now
I don’t know the fullness of what’s down the road
But You tell me You’ve walked it before
In Your strength I will move on
[Chorus]
I just want to run but I still can’t walk
Can I lean into You and find I still am strong?
The road ahead stretches far
But the promise I need is You with me to where You are
