Where Do I Run

Where do I run when I can’t see;
When the darkness surrounds me
When I’m alone and afraid
Who will come to my aid?

No one cares what I’m go through
They all have problems, too.
Who can I run to, who will care?
I need an answer to my prayer.


I’ve cried out to every friend,
Now I’m at my wit’s end.
No one has time to hear.
They all just disappear.

Then I hear a quiet voice,
“Be still, make me your choice.”
He brings peace to my heart
And He’ll never depart.

“Child, my heart is aching
When I see yours breaking.
I’ve been here waiting
Standing and anticipating”

“Waiting to feel you in my arms,
to keep you safe from all harms.
I love you, but don't you know
that I’m not your foe?”

“When you’re weary or sad
Feeling hurt or just mad;
Come to me and share.
I’ll lift you from despair.”

Whenever I go away or roam
He begs me “ come back home.”
Where do I run when I can’t see?
I run to my Father who loves me.

Joyful Celebration

God, you are my inspiration,
My rock, my solid foundation.
Your word is my meditation
So I’ll overcome temptation.

I find beauty in your creation.
It brings joy and elation.
Your works evoke adoration,
jubilation and fascination.

My heart answered your invitation
To change my eternal destination.
Jesus died so I could have salvation.
Every day is filled with celebration.

Because He Loves Us

Because He loves us
God put in motion a plan.
He wanted to save
Every woman and man.

Because He loves us
He sacrificed His Son;
His beloved one and only.
A victory over sin was won.

Because He loves us
He longs to hear our voice.
We can pour out our hearts;
Spend time with Him and rejoice.

Because He loves us
He bestows mercy o’er and o’er.
What an amazing Father,
One I love and adore.

Because He loves us
He will wait and wait.
He’ll be filled with joy
To see us at Heaven’s gate.

A Long, Long Journey

I’m on a long, long journey
traveling down a dusty road;
at times I get so weary
carrying this heavy load.

Then I see a man ahead,
reaching out a nail scarred hand.
He tells me of His love for me
and speaks of a heavenly land.

He touches my shoulder,
then I am filled with peace.
He assures me one day
my cares and sorrows will cease.

He’s the precious Lamb of God
whose blood cleansed and set me free.
Never will I be all alone,
together we’ll always be.

The road seems shorter now.
My journey soon will end.
Waiting for me with open arms
will be my Savior and my friend.

Running

Running from you LORD,
Oh please help me.
Running back to you Jesus,
your blood will set me free.

I can’t fix myself,
Can’t do it on my own.
I need your love and grace.
Only you can atone.

Why do I seek help
From any other place;
I’ll run back to you
and seek your face.

Where else can I go,
There’s no where else to run.
No one else loves me like you
I’ll run back to the Son.
