No Far Away
Journey of Redemption: Embracing Grace in No Far Away
Lyrics
When I ran from You, I ran to You
Running away from God led to finding Him; a paradoxical realization.
And when I tried to hide, I found You there
Attempts to hide from God were futile as He was always present.
And when I told You no
Expressing resistance or denial to God.
You knew right where I'd go
God was aware of the direction the person would take despite resistance.
So when I ran from You, I ran to You
Reiteration of the paradox of running away but finding God in the process.
There's no way to get far away from You
Emphasizes the impossibility of being distant from God.
There's no way to get far away from You
Repetition of the idea that distance from God is unattainable.
There's nowhere I could go that
No location exists where God is not already present.
You're not already there
God's omnipresence is highlighted.
There's no way to get far away from You
Reiterating the impossibility of getting far away from God.
There is no height or depth to hold You back
God is not confined by any limits in space.
There is no towered veil to hide Your face
No obstacles can conceal God's presence.
Cause You tore it down
Metaphorically referring to the removal of barriers between humans and God.
Now we see You all around
God's presence is now evident everywhere.
So when we run from You, we run to You
Similar paradox as before, running towards God rather than away.
I fell so far I was so far gone
Describing a deep state of distance or spiritual separation from God.
Then I saw You yeah I saw You
The realization of God's presence despite being spiritually distant.
I climbed so high that I could not
Metaphorically reaching a high point in life with God's presence becoming apparent.
Breath then I saw You there
Struggling to breathe signifies difficulties, but God is still present.
You called me close and my heart gave in
God's call brings the person closer despite the challenges.
And I saw You I saw You
A repeated realization of God's presence in different circumstances.
But what matters the most, in
Highlighting the crucial importance of encountering God amid sin.
The midst of my sin, i saw You there...so
Despite being in the midst of sin, the presence of God is acknowledged.
When I ran from You, I ran to You
Reiteration of the paradoxical nature of running towards God when seemingly running away.
