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 upon 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



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



(Jesus!)

(I will count running? I will run! I will run!)

(I will run, I will run)

(I will run, I will run)
