(based on David fleeing Absalom in Psalm 3).

I’ve been on the run before
Men have sought my life before
I’ve written songs in caves before
And You have rescued me
_
But this time I’m the one who’s hurt the ones I love
This time all the mess I’m in is mine
This time no one thinks that You should help me anymore
And I don’t know what to say this time,
Yeah I don’t know what to say this time
_
‘Cause I am not the good guy in this story anymore
I can’t plead the cleanness of my hands
I am not the good guy in the story anymore
Save me if You want me and You can,
Save me if You want me and You can
_
You’ve been on the run My Lord,
Men have sought Your life, my Lord
You screamed my song on Your cross Lord
And You have rescued me
_
‘Cause You knew that I’m the kind of man who hurts the ones I love
And all the mess You found me in was mine
So You came to take my place and save me after all
And show You were the Hero all the time,
Yeah You show You were the Hero all the time
_
‘Cause I am not the good guy in this story anymore
I can’t plead the cleanness of my hands
I am not the good guy in the story anymore
But now You’ve traded places with me and…
_
I find You’ve been the Good Guy in the story all along,
And I can plead the nailprints in Your hands
And You will be the Good Guy in the story evermore
And You save me ‘cause You want to and You can
You save me ‘cause You want to and You can.
