Can t Hide From Your Love lyrics
I was lost and I was blind
I was begging for a sign
that someone
Somewhere heard me
As You whispered in the wind
And You shouted in the waves
That You heard me
That You loved me
And I could finally
Stop resisting
You?re Everything I ever wanted
And never knew I needed
You?re Everywhere I ever go
I can?t hide from Your Love anymore
I begin to drop my guard
Faithful as the Morning Star
You show me tender mercy
I?m surrounded by Your beauty
I get lost in Heaven?s
Symphony
It never changes
Never ending
Unrelenting
Why would I want to?
I don?t want to.
Behind the Song:
"Sitting down at the piano, I put my hands on an F-sharp minor and sang the chorus, You?re everything I ever wanted and never knew I needed. I thought, ?does that make sense?? and I decided it did. It reminded me of the prodigal son who turned his head toward home as he sat in a pigsty and thought to himself, ?I can?t believe I left! I never knew how much I needed my father?s love, protection, and security.? I thought about that aspect of the parable and realized, no matter how far we run, we can?t escape the love of our Heavenly Father?we cannot hide from his love. The music to the verses flowed out exactly as you hear it now, but the words didn?t come together until several months later when I was doing some co-writing with Jason Ingram. With the help of Jason?s brilliant lyric ability, the verses emerged as we talked through the prodigal son?s mindset and his journey. My favorite concept in this song is in the first verse, and it?s actually where the album?s title came from. I picture a wayward son pleading to God, begging for a sign: ?show me You actually care about me!? He asks for a sign, and yet God has been whispering His love to him in the wind and shouting it in the waves all along." - Aaron Shust
