Secret Place / Goodness of God (Live)

(And) I remember the beginning

When I found the secret place

Don’t know why it felt familiar

But I knew it right away

There were times it seemed so simple

And sometimes so unsure

But not a moment was ever wasted

Knelt behind those closed doors

(Sing the secret place)

‘Cause the secret place is secret

That’s where it gets its name

It’s not hiding but it’s hidden

Far from all religious games

No it won’t bring recognition

Or get called up on a stage

‘Cause the melody is sacred

You sing in the secret place

It’s an open invitation

No words you have to say

If you want it you can get there

There’s a thousand different ways

There’s no glory in the method

None are right and none are wrong

You just put your trust in Jesus

And then start to sing along

‘Cause just as you are you’re welcome

There’s no part you have to play

Doesn’t need to be impressive

Couldn’t do that anyway

‘Cause when it gets too complicated

That melody will fade

But if you take the time to listen

You can hear heaven’s refrain

(Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh

Hear the sound of the saints)

There’ll be days that it feels distant

So far beyond my reach

Like my failures locked the entrance

And my spirit lost the keys

But the beauty of the secret

That I’m so grateful for

Is that Your presence doesn’t need me

To kick down an open door

So I’m running to the secret

I’m going there today

Got no reason not to worship

And get undignified again

There’s no time for inhibitions

Or to care what people say

I won’t waste another minute

Take me to the secret place

(Whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh

Thank you Lord that your arms are wide open

Oh nothing is wasted in your presence

Nothing is wasted in your presence

No nothing is wasted in your presence

Nothing is wasted in your presence

No nothing is wasted in your presence

Nothing is wasted in your presence

Not a tear not a dream no

No nothing is wasted in your presence

Nothing is wasted in your presence

‘Cause Your goodness is running after

It’s running after me

Your goodness is running after

It’s running after me

With my life laid down

I’m surrendered now

I give You everything

‘Cause Your goodness is running after

It’s running after me (walk it up now)

‘Cause Your goodness is running after

It’s running after me

Your goodness is running after

It’s running after me

With my life laid down

I’m surrendered now

I give You everything (Oh oh)

‘Cause Your goodness is running after

It’s running after me

(Come on we sing Your goodness, hey)

‘Cause Your goodness is running after

It’s running after me (Everywhere I go)

Your goodness is running after

It’s running after me

(Oh) With my life laid down

I’m surrendered now

I give You everything

Your goodness is running after

It’s running after me

(Come on we sing Your goodness, every voice)

Your goodness is running after

It’s running after me

Your goodness is running after

It’s running after me

With my life laid down

I’m surrendered now

I give You everything

‘Cause Your goodness is running after

It’s running after me

(Thank you that you run after me

You run your run you run

You keep running after me

You keep running after me)
