Never far – Jo Deep Ft. Ore Macaulay

Dear Husband,

It’s me your runaway bride
Here to hand over her running shoes again,
hopefully for the last time
I know you are acquainted with all my ways
so before you stop me, let me please explain

You are a controlling husband, so I run
Right from when I let you into my heart and we were joined at the altar
you have been my Lord You know my very hairs and count my every step
When I run into the arms of my previous lover- darkness,
you are there in my adultery.

By the way, that only happened because you didn’t let me choose our asoebi colors
You insisted hallelujah white and redemption blood red
Your goodness and mercy stalking-ly watch over me
Where can I flee from Your Spirit?
King David and I tried to find out But we couldn’t

I followed mother’s footsteps instead of yours
Eve explored, fell, ran and hid so I did
The story hasn’t changed since Eden,
you still come looking for me

Have you forgotten your bride is sick with pride
making it difficult for her to stay by your side even if she tried?

Like the prodigal son’s prodigy,
straying from you made me feel lost and destitute
I brought you so much disrepute!
Yet for me, love was still in active pursuit

My soul clings to the dust, I am out of reach
[ You’re never far ]
This valley will swallow me, Lover can you hear me?
[ You’re never far ]
Maybe, just maybe your hands are too short to save me.
[ You’re never far ]
Have you cast me aside, do you not love me anymore?
[ You’re never far ]

No matter how far you go You’re never far
[ You’re never far ]
No matter how far you go You’re never far
[ You’re never far ]
As long as you can’t run from the wind
Just know that you can’t run from me
[ You’re never far ]

Never! Never! Never! Never!
No matter how far you go You’re never far
[ You’re never far ]

No matter how far you go You’re never far
[ You’re never far ]
Never! Never! Never! Never!

As long as you can’t run from the wind
Just know that you can’t run from me
You’re never far

You beckoned me home so here I am.
Your countenance is delightful at my return,
do you not see my stained white?
How can you wash me clean
when my self-righteousness could not in all its might?

I am barely two yards of wife material
yet you have sown me your robe of righteousness.
Bleeding symphonies of love, you sing over me with rejoicing.
You tell me I am worth the price
It is fallacy to think I can outrun you and devilish foolishness to reject your hold.
Runaway bride draw near, the veil was torn for you

HOW HAS THIS IMPACTED YOUR LIFE?
