The alarm went off, but I hit rewind,
Wasn't ready for the race of the daily grind.
But I jumped up anyway, spilled coffee on my sleeve,
Laughed it off 'cause joy's the only thing I need.
I'm done tryna blend in with the same-old crowd,
There's a rhythm in my soul that's singing out loud.
I'm done playing small, done staying still,
Running on grace and a gospel thrill.
Got a little pep in my step today-
Every heartbeat says, "Get on your way!"
I'm gonna outrun the ordinary,
Leave my worries on the side of the road.
Joy's gonna carry me farther,
With a little faith and a whole lotta hope.
I'm stepping out into the story
You're writing for me-
I was made to outrun the ordinary.
Got a sunshine smile and a pocket of praise,
And a Hallelujah rising like the break of day.
Even when I trip, You pick me up in style,
Turn my little detours into something worthwhile.
I've got gospel fire burning in my shoes,
Can't slow down when You're making me new.
I'm done playing small, done staying still,
Running on grace and a gospel thrill.
Got a little pep in my step today-
Every heartbeat says, "Get on your way!"
I'm gonna outrun the ordinary,
Leave my worries on the side of the road.
Joy's gonna carry me farther,
With a little faith and a whole lotta hope.
I'm stepping out into the story
You're writing for me-
I was made to outrun the ordinary.
Run, run, running with the Spirit,
Run, run, running in Your freedom!
No more standing still-
I'm moving in Your will!
Run, run, running with the Spirit,
Run, run, running in Your freedom-
I was made, I was made
To outrun the ordinary!
I'm gonna outrun the ordinary,
Leave my worries on the side of the road.
Joy's gonna carry me farther,
With a little faith and a whole lotta hope.
I'm stepping out into the story
You're writing for me-
I was made, I was made
To outrun the ordinary.
