Lyrics

V1
My days were filled with darkness
My nights were filled with fear,
Your truth was hidden from me
Never knowing all those years,
Until I heard Your story
My heart You entered in,
Then I saw my chains were broken
And You were standing there,

Chorus
Oh Jesus
I never ran so fast in all my life
Jesus
You held me in your arms so tight
Oh Jesus
You heard my weary heart cry out
Now I’m a child of God
Yes, I’m a child of God

V2
You left a throne of glory
So I could be an heir
Even before my story
My cross to gladly bear
Darkness held me for ransom
You paid with Your own life
And when You called me from the grave
I saw the fire in Your eyes

Chorus
Oh Jesus
I never ran so fast in all my life
Jesus
You held me in your arms so tight
Oh Jesus
You heard my weary heart cry out
Now I’m a child of God
Yes, I’m a child of God

Bridge
When I cross over Jordan
Let my memory testify
about the love of Jesus
and how He saved my life

Chorus
Oh Jesus
I never ran so fast in all my life
Jesus
You held me in your arms so tight
Oh Jesus
You heard my weary heart cry out
Now I’m a child of God
Yes, I’m a child of God

Chorus
Oh Jesus
I never ran so fast in all my life
Jesus
You held me in your arms so tight
Oh Jesus
You heard my weary heart cry out
Now I’m a child of God
Yes, I’m a child of God

Chorus
Oh Jesus
I never ran so fast in all my life
Jesus
You held me in your arms so tight
Oh Jesus
You heard my weary heart cry out
Now I’m a child of God
Yes, I’m a child of God
