I've been the judge
I've been the one assuming
That I know what's best
Forgive me, Father, forgive me

I've sought my own justice
Said in my heart
I'll do it my way instead
Forgive me, Father, forgive me

Back to the mercy seat, Lord
I am running, I'm running
Back to simplicity
You are enough for me

I've trusted the gift
More than the Giver
Tried to sustain all I can
I'm sorry, Father, I'm sorry

For all of the times
I held on too long to things
That belong in Your hands
I'm sorry, Father, I'm sorry, yes

Back to the mercy seat, Lord
I am running, I'm running
Back to simplicity
You are enough for me

Back to the mercy seat, Lord
I am running, I'm running
Back to simplicity
You are enough for me

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

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
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Put You first, put You first, oh-oh

I'm running, I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
I'm running, I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
I'm running, I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
I'm running, I'm running, I'm running

Back to the mercy seat, Lord
I am running, I'm running
Back to simplicity
You are enough for me

Back to the mercy seat, Lord
I am running, I'm running
Back to simplicity
You are enough for me
