Tethered

(album: Order, Disorder, Reorder - 2020)

I was slipping away
Thought I wasn't just losing but maybe never had faith
All of the feelings I felt before they must've been fake
And I just can't fake it anymore
I was lost in the dark
Feeling my way around it with a blindfolded heart
Even if You were real maybe I'd gone too far
Too broken to be restored

Where can I go from Your presence?
Where can I go?

I'm tethered to Your love
Though I've tried a thousand times
I just can't break free of
Your grace that finds me and reminds me
Wherever I run
Every road will lead me home
'Cause I'm tethered to Your love

I tried building a wall
Every failure was a stone and I stacked them up tall
'Til I was so alone and all hope was gone
It was gone like it was never there
I didn't cry for help 'cause I didn't like myself
Enough to open the door to my own prison cell
But You were breaking through
Even when I doubted You would even care

Where can I go from Your presence?
Where can I go?

I'm tethered to Your love
Though I've tried a thousand times
I just can't break free of
Your grace that finds me and reminds me
Wherever I run
Every road will lead me home
'Cause I'm tethered to Your love

I felt at home in the depths
I settled in and made my bed
So sure that there was no hope left
And in the darkness I could hide
Started thinking that You just weren't true
But still held up my fists at You
Like I was looking for a fight

But You didn't run
And I just couldn't see that I wasn't alone
What was darkness to me was like the noon day sun
The noon day sun to You

Where can I go from Your presence?
Where can I go?

I'm tethered to Your love
Though I've tried a thousand times
I just can't break free of
Your grace that finds me and reminds me
Wherever I run
Every road will lead me home
'Cause I'm tethered to Your love
Oh I'm tethered to Your love

Where can I go from Your presence?
Where can I go?
