And it’s starting to get crippling
You want to run the opposite way
And you need to find a way of escape
My Jesus ran the opposite way
Father, let this cup pass from me
They couldn’t see the sun shining

And it seems like you’re locked in a cage
Your will for me is the opposite way
And you tell yourself it’s all okay

Oh, and through the cross He conquered the grave
The Father sent His Son down
He knelt in the garden and prayed
But something’s different today
And it seemed like He was locked in a cage
Rejected in His own town
The light of men
So you could run the opposite way
And He couldn’t find a way of escape

But through the cross He conquered the grave
You’ve never felt in place
Yeah, through the cross He conquered the grave

Oh, He ran the opposite way
It’s okay to run the opposite way
The cross He bore was crippling
Hanging with the same crowd
When everyone is setting the pace

It’s not Your will for me to stay
