Be My Escape

be my escape

I’ve given up, I’m giving up slowly, I’m blending in so  

You won’t even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate  

This one last call that You mentioned is my one last shot at redemption  

because I know to live you must give your life away  

And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and  

I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key  

And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me  

And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because  

I gotta get outta here  

I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake  

I gotta get outta here  

And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape.  



I’m giving up I’m doing this alone now  

Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how  

He’s told me the way and I’m trying to get there  

And this life sentence that I’m serving  

I admit that I’m every bit deserving  

But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair  



Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and  

I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key  

And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me  

And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because  

I gotta get outta here  

Cause I’m afraid that this complacency is something I can’t shake  

I gotta get outta here  

And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape.  



I am a hostage to my own humanity  

Self detained and forced to live in this mess I’ve made  

And all I’m asking is for You to do what You can with me  

But I can’t ask You to give what You already gave  



Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and  

I’ve been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key  

And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me  

And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because  

I’ve gotta get outta here  

I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake  

I’ve gotta get outta here  

And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging  

You to be my escape.  



I fought You for so long  

I should have let You in  

Oh how we regret those things we do  

And all I was trying to do was save my own skin  

But so were You  



So were You
