lyrics

Verse 1:
I run to Christ when chased by fear
And find a refuge sure.
“Believe in me,” His voice I hear;
His words and wounds secure.
I run to Christ when torn by grief
And find abundant peace.
“I too had tears,” He gently speaks;
Thus joy and sorrow meet.

Verse 2:
I run to Christ when worn by life
And find my soul refreshed.
“Come unto Me,” He calls through strife;
Fatigue gives way to rest.
I run to Christ when vexed by hell
And find a mighty arm.
“The Devil flees,” the Scriptures tell;
He roars, but cannot harm.

Bridge:
When my soul is overrun,
When my spirit is undone,
When by darkness I'm oppressed,
In the wilderness distressed,
When I stumble in the dust,
When my sight of You is lost,
I will run to seek Your face,
And I'll taste amazing grace.

Echo vocals on Bridge:
I run to You!

Verse 3:
I run to Christ when stalked by sin
And find a sure escape.
“Deliver me,” I cry to Him;
Temptation yields to grace.
I run to Christ when plagued by shame
And find my one defense.
“I bore God’s wrath,” He pleads my case—
My Advocate and Friend,
My Advocate and Friend,
My Advocate and Friend.

Outro vocals:
When my soul is overrun,
When my spirit is undone,
I run to You!
I will run to seek Your face,
And I'll taste amazing grace.
I run to You!
