Dear God

I was running away from you

I was running away from you

I'm getting tired of running away

Just running and running away

Oh God, I'm on my dying bed

My head is in a spin, I'm wondering

Am I dead when I was up on my feet?

I didn't think about ya

Knowing deep down inside, I can't leave without ya

I was out slanging drugs up around the way

Shooting up in boulevard caused them fools them paid

God jumped right in, my conscience hit me up

As the days go by, my mind is messed up

I'm feeling guilty from the things I'm doing

Knowing all the time it's my life I'm ruining

Dear God, I know you send me signs all the time

24/7, Lord you're on my mind

But I got to make a living

I know it's wrong what I'm doing, 'cause I'm killing

Oh man, my conscience beat me down

Every time I closed my eyes, I'm hearing the sound

I was running away from you (Lord, I can't run no more)

I was running away from you

(Just like the prodigal son, I wanna come home)

I'm getting tired of running away (it ain't easy)

Just running and running away

So I'm back in the street doing what I do

Day by day, it gets harder 'cause I know the truth

And the truth, yes it must prevail

I got to make a choice, Heaven or Hell

Yes, it's life after death

If I keep doing wrong, then it's only death

See, God don't want no sinners

He only wants the righteous ones who's tryna enter

I was running away from you (Lord, I can't run no more)

I was running away from you

(Just like the prodigal son, I wanna come home)

I'm getting tired of running away (it ain't easy)

Just running and running away

I throw my hands up to the Lord

All the wrong doings that I did, it wasn't smart

The devil thought he had my soul in his hand

I'm giving all that up, I'm rolling with a better man

And that man be God

I'm tired of running and living hard

I come to God's side 'cause His side is the best

I can't run no more, I need some rest

I was running away from you (dear Lord, I can't run no more)

I was running away from you

(Just like the prodigal son, I wanna come home)

I'm getting tired of running away (it ain't easy)

Just running and running away

Listen up, young people

I know many times you sitting in church and

You've been getting the feeling that

That God is calling you to come up and accept him in your heart

And I know sometime, you wanna get on up and go

Don't run away from Him no more

You see because, I've been there before

Well, I got tired of runnin' you know

My conscience kept hittin' me up and

I just can't take it no more, you know

I got tired of the devil all over my back

So the next time y'all get that feeling

Y'all do what I did, and go on up there

Accept Him in your heart
