Can't Get Away Songtext

von John Schlitt

In the closets of my mind
I have thoughts unfit for swine
Secrets that i dare not tell
You know them well
'neath a veil of innocence
I disguise my decadence
But somehow you see through it all
And love me still, you love me still
Even in my darkest hour
You display your mercy's power
Since i met you, i've discovered

Can't get away, can't get away
From your love
Can't get away, can't get away
From your love
I may run and i may hide
But you will seek and you will find
I can't get away, can't get away
From your love

Knowing i deserve to burn
Eternal life i try to earn
Motivated by my guilt
I slave away
Imprisoned by the laws of man
I sink deeper in the sand
Will i ever realize
I'm in your grace, i'm in your grace?
Covered by the blood of christ
I don't have to pay the price
There's no escaping paradise

Even in my darkest hour
You display your mercy's power
Since i met you, i've discovered
