Running from the Lord

I’m running, running from the lord 

Running from the calling He placed on me 

I’m running, running from the lord 

Running from the truth which I don’t want to see 

I’m running, running from the lord 

Running from the hurt and pain that hides inside of me 

Not knowing he heals all my hurt and pain 

I’m running, running from the lord 

Thinking about all I want and need worrying everyday 

Not knowing he supplies all my needs and even my wants 

I’m running, running from the lord 

Too busy looking for love 

When the best love and highest love comes from the lord 

I’m running, running from the lord 

Thinking that he causes all my pain 

Not knowing that he loves me and just wants the best for me 

I’m running, running from the lord 

Because I think I’ll go insane 

Not knowing that he keeps my mind in perfect peace 

I’m running, running from the lord 

Thinking all I need is me 

Not knowing without him I am nothing and wouldn’t even be 

I’m running, running from the lord 

Not knowing that I’m running from the greatest love ever 

I’m running from joy, hope and peace 

I’m running from blessing and prosperity 

I’m running, running from the lord 

I’m running from the answers 

When I say I need some 

I’m running from happiness 

But I say I’m not 

I say I’m not running from all these good things 

I want good in my life I want to be happy 

But running from the lord is running from happiness 

It is running from joy, hope, peace 

When you run from the lord, 

 you are running from the plans he has for your life 

Plans of blessing and prosperity 

He wants you to prosper in every way of life 

Why do I run from someone like that 

I’m running from the best life I can have 

I think I know the best for myself but God knows better 

And wants better for me 

Will I ever stop running; if I did I would see 

How my life would change and rearrange for the better for me 

I still don’t see 

That if I stop running my life would never be the same 

 It be better 

What if I’m running because I don’t want to change? 

What if I like living the way I do 

I think the way I live is ok, I think my life is fine 

But why settle for ok when I can live great 

An wonderful life with the lord and all his promises of wonder and glory 

And the good that comes with him 

It’s like I settle for a little when I can have a lot 

I now see the way I live is not good enough for me 

I can live a more wonderful life 

I need to stop running and accept the lord for me 

All I have to do is ask the lord to come into my heart and ask him to be my lord and savior 

I will be reborn and have a new family in Christ with the lord as my father and friend 

Know that with Him, He will supply all your needs 

And yes I have decided to stop running and accept the lord for me 

I accept the love of Jesus Christ, 

The one who died on a cross for me 

The one who loves me unconditionally 

There is no greater love than the father 

Through Him I have found true love 

That why I stop running
