Verso 1

This is the story of a runaway
With no way home
And no way out
I threw the best of me away
I had my chance it's too late now
Too far gone and too ashamed
To think that You'd
Still know my name
But love refused to let
My story end that way

Refrão

You didn't wait for me
To find my way to You
I couldn't cross that distance
Even if I wanted to
You came running after me
When anybody else would've turned
And left me at my worst
Love moved first

Verso 2

What kind of grace relentless grace
Would chase this rebel down
Crawl into this prisoner's cage
Take my hand and pull me out
You knew I couldn't
Make the change
So You became the change in me
And now I live to tell the story
Of the God who rescues

Refrão

You didn't wait for me
To find my way to You
I couldn't cross that distance
Even if I wanted to
You came running after me
When anybody else would've turned
And left me at my worst
Love moved first

Ponte

From the throne to the manger
From a manger to the grave
Your cross is the proof
Love made the first move

Ponte 2

From a grave meant to keep You
To a stone rolled away
Your cross is the proof
Love made the first move

Ponte 3

I remember where You found me
I'm amazed by where I stand
Your cross is the proof
That love made the first move

Refrão

You didn't wait for me
To find my way to You
I couldn't cross that distance
Even if I wanted to
You came running after me
When anybody else would've turned
And left me at my worst
Love moved first
