Verse 1

I’ve been the judge I’ve been the one
Assuming that I know what’s best
Forgive me Father forgive me

Verse 2

I’ve sought my own justice said in my heart
I’ll do it my way instead
Forgive me Father forgive me

Chorus

Back to the mercy seat
Lord I am runnin I’m runnin
Back to simplicity
You are enough for me

Verse 3

I’ve trusted the gift more than the giver
Tried to sustain all I can
I’m sorry Father I’m sorry

Verse 4

For all of the times I held on too long
To things that belong in Your hands
I’m sorry Father I’m sorry

Chorus

Back to the mercy seat
Lord I am runnin I’m runnin
Back to simplicity
You are enough for me

Bridge

I fall on my knees again
And I repent
I’m willing to be purified
Here I seek Your face again
And I repent
Lord I put You first in my life

Refrain

I’m runnin’ I’m runnin’
I’m runnin’ I’m runnin’

Refrain

I’m runnin’ I’m runnin’
I’m runnin’

Chorus

Back to the mercy seat
Lord I am runnin I’m runnin
Back to simplicity
You are enough for me
