I Explained It All
Paul & The Tall Trees Lyrics

No matter how far I run
Despite my attempts to distance myself from you,

Run away from you
Fleeing your presence and your influence,

You've always been there
You have consistently been present and constant,

And you welcome me home
And you still receive me with open arms when I return,

Like I never was gone
As if I hadn't been gone at all,

Friend of all friends
You're the closest friend compared to all other friendships,

I've forsaken, I've mistreated you
I've abandoned you and mistreated you,

Lover divine
You are a perfect example of what love is

No matter how hard I tried
Even when I put in effort to change and avoid you,

To stray from your side
And break away from your influence,

You've always been true
You remain constant and faithful

And I owe it all to you Jesus
I have you to thank for everything, Jesus,

I owe it all to you
I am indebted to you for all that you have done for me

All my life I lay before you
I give my entire life to you,

It seems too good to be true
It's hard to believe it's possible,

That all that I've got to do
That the solution is that simple,

Is learn to let go
All I have to do is learn to release control,

I lay this burden down
I surrender this weight to you,

And I let your love surround
And allow your love to fill me,

All of my soul
Every part of who I am

When I'm broken, you mend me
When I'm damaged, you repair me,

Healer divine
You are divine in your ability to heal,

And all that I've got to do
All that's required of me

Is learn to follow you
Is to learn to trust and obey you,

Let your grace break through
And allow your grace to overpower me and transform me,

You always lift me when I fall
You always help me when I stumble,

You always hear me when I call
You always listen when I pray,

And you forgive me Lord
And you offer me forgiveness,

And in your grace I am found
And in your grace, I am saved.
