Can't Get Away

Can't Get Away - Rush of Fools


I am an arrow, I am a rocket
I am a river and nothing can stop it
Cause You are the target and You are the atmosphere
You are the ocean that keeps pulling me, You're pulling me here

[Chorus:]
And I, can't get away, can't get away
Can't get away, can't get away
I can't get away, can't get away...I keep running into You
[repeat]

I am a beggar, You are the table
I am so helpless, God You are so able
And when I get turned around You change my direction
You're so perfect, I'm so broken, here You come with arms wide open 
Chasing after me down every road
You're always waiting there

[Chorus]

Even when I close my eyes, I can't help but see 
There's no place that I can hide, You're such a part of me
I can't get away cause I keep running into You
I can't get away...

[Chorus]

This song speaks to me so much right now as I am sitting in Books-a-million for time with Jesus and bible study prep. I just love that I can't get away from God. Here I am at STP and even though I am running after him now, I know that after this summer is over, I will never lose Him. He chases after me and surrounds me. So the first verse describes my feelings right now, just striving after the Lord my target. But I know that if my course changes at any point, God will direct me back to Him. I can't escape the Lord Almighty and I don't know why I would want to. Some how though it always happens. Satan pulls me away but the Lord is so much stronger. 




I have always loved the story of Hosea and the fact that God welcomes me back with open arms is  just something that brings me to my knees every time in worship. I chase after false gods and idols time and time again and every time God pursues me and romances me back into his arms. I am so unfaithful and still He wants me. I have always known this but for some reason, the awesomeness of it all just struck me in this coffee shop. The fact that God wants me: the broken, imperfect, unfaithful, messed up me. Yet the Lord Jehovah, Elohim who created me, finds me lovely and wonderful. 


I love the way God speaks and I can't wait to hear more. I didn't even realize that I needed to be told that by God until it happened. Isn't it cool how God knows my heart and its desires even before I do? My God is outside of time and still manages to focus on me and speak intimately and personally to me!
