I've carried a burden For too long on my own I wasn't created To bear it alone I hear Your invitation To let it all go Yeah, I see it now I'm laying it down And I know that I need You
I run to the Father I fall into grace I'm done with the hiding No reason to wait My heart needs a surgeon My soul needs a friend So I'll run to the Father Again and again And again and again Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
You saw my condition Had a plan from the start Your Son for redemption The price for my heart And I don't have a context For that kind of love I don't understand I can't comprehend All I know is I need You
I run to the Father I fall into grace I'm done with the hiding No reason to wait My heart needs a surgeon My soul needs a friend So I'll run to the Father Again and again And again and again
Journal and reflect on the following
What burdens have I been carrying on my own that I need to lay down before God?
Why is it sometimes hard for me to admit that I need help—from God or from others?
How do I respond when I hear God’s invitation to “let it all go”? Do I trust Him enough to surrender?
What does it mean to me that God is both a “surgeon” for my heart and a “friend” for my soul?
Have I ever experienced the feeling of “falling into grace”? What did that look or feel like?
What keeps me from running to God again and again? Is it fear, guilt, pride, or something else?
How can I open myself more fully to the kind of love that “I don’t understand” but deeply need?

Final Prayer
Loving Father, I come before You with open hands and a weary heart, grateful that I don’t have to carry my burdens alone. Thank You for always inviting me back into Your arms, for Your grace that catches me when I fall, and for the healing love that restores my soul. I lay down my fears, my pride, and my hiding, and I run to You again—because I know You are the surgeon my heart needs, the friend my soul longs for. Help me to trust in Your mercy, to rest in Your presence, and to never stop returning to Your embrace. Amen.
