We’re born into the longing
With hearts, bent toward possessing
All that our eyes are seeing
Our souls, they never stop wanting
Beauty never intended to be more than a reflection
[Chorus]
Oh, Lord, light up my dark eyes
Teach me to let go
I’ve been runnin’
Chasing nothing but shadows
[Verse 2]
My heart is an ocean raging
And Your grace is all that keeps me from drowning
My mind creates deceptions
So I cling the treasure sinking
[Chorus]
Oh, Lord, light up my dark eyes
Teach me to let go
I’ve been runnin’
Chasing nothing but shadows
[Bridge]
All that I run to, all that I cling to
Everything seems to only slip through my hands
All that I run to, all that I cling to
Everything seems to only slip through my hands
But I keep running, I keep chasing
Left holding on to only the after glow
Lord, light up my eyes, let me follow You
To the source behind all the shadows
[Chorus]
Oh, Lord, light up my dark eyes
Teach me to let go
I’ve been runnin’
Chasing nothing but shadows
[Outro]
Oh, Lord, please come and
Raise my dead heart, let me know
You can keep me from
Chasing after the shadows
The shadows
Keep runnin’, keep runnin’, keep runnin’
[Verse 1] We’re born into the longing With hearts, bent toward possessing All that our eyes are seeing Our souls, they never stop wanting Beauty never intended to be more than a reflection [Chorus] Oh, Lord, light up my dark eyes Teach me to let go I’ve been runnin’ Chasing nothing but shadows [Verse 2] My heart is an ocean raging And Your grace is all that keeps me from drowning My mind creates deceptions So I cling the treasure sinking [Chorus] Oh, Lord, light up my dark eyes Teach me to let go I’ve been runnin’ Chasing nothing but shadows [Bridge] All that I run to, all that I cling to Everything seems to only slip through my hands All that I run to, all that I cling to Everything seems to only slip through my hands But I keep running, I keep chasing Left holding on to only the after glow Lord, light up my eyes, let me follow You To the source behind all the shadows [Chorus] Oh, Lord, light up my dark eyes Teach me to let go I’ve been runnin’ Chasing nothing but shadows [Outro] Oh, Lord, please come and Raise my dead heart, let me know You can keep me from Chasing after the shadows The shadows Keep runnin’, keep runnin’, keep runnin’ Explain Request ×
