As a girl, I always wondered why we paid for a sin that wasn’t ours
Every time I stumbled, I’d blame my scars on Adam and Eve
I’d look around at the world and feel the sting
Of the greatest mistake in history and wonder
How they could have traded God for this?
I didn’t understand
I’d grow up to be just like them

I’m no better
I’ve tasted that forbidden fruit a thousand times
Sweet like honey but a bitter aftertaste knowing
I’ve broken myself again
But from the moment of the fall
Despite His broken heart
He created a plan to save me
It’s a never ending cycle of repent and pursuit
Yeah, I’m just like Adam and Eve
But my God’s the same God that died to set them free

Now that I’ve left the garden of my youth
I bear regrets I can’t take back
And I’m so burdened by how far from grace I’ve fallen
But then the blood of His son came rushing over my sins
And turned every bit of shame into victory
At the greatest act of love, I stood frozen in awe
And I got it for the very first time
Now it brings tears to my eyes every time I remember
He gave his life so He could save mine
Though He knows

I’m no better
I’ve tasted that forbidden fruit a thousand times
Sweet like honey but a bitter aftertaste knowing
I’ve broken myself again
But from the moment of the fall
Despite His broken heart
He created a plan to save me
It’s a never ending cycle of repent and pursuit
Yeah, I’m just like Adam and Eve
But my God’s the same God that died to set them free

Every time I run away
I run away
Every time that I run away
I see Him chasing after me
I run away, I run away
Every time I run away
I see Him chasing after me

I’m not the world’s but I am His
He bought me back with the highest price He could give me
Even though I still run away
Every time He chases me down, I’m reminded that
I’m not the world’s but I am His
He bought me back with the highest price He could give me
Even though I still run away
Every time He chases me down, I’m reminded that

I’m no better
I’ve tasted that forbidden fruit a thousand times
Sweet like honey but a bitter aftertaste knowing
I’ve broken myself again
But from the moment of the fall
Despite His broken heart
He never ceased to chase me
It’s a never ending cycle of repent and pursuit
Yeah, I’m just like Adam and Eve
But my God’s the same God that sent His son after me

I’m not the world’s but I am His
He bought me back with the highest price He could give me
Even though I still run away
Every time He chases me down, I’m reminded that
I’m not the world’s but I am His
He bought me back with the highest price He could give me
Even though I still run away
Every time He chases me down, I’m reminded that
I’m his, every time
Yeah, my God’s the same God that died to set them free
