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
‘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
(Oh, oh)
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
I 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
Oh
Jesus
I will come running
I will run
I will run, oh
I will run, I will run
I will run, I will run
