WE RUN!

We run to meet You Lord

We run the race,

Beholding Your face

We run!

 

Into Your arms we run

Oh what arms You have

So strong, so welcoming

Calling us deeper into You

We run into Jesus

Into all you are

Into all You have called us to be

Into all Your eyes alone see

We run!

 

You are our breath

We won’t grow weary

We come running!

 

Fire!

You are fire!

Desire, consume us

Burn in us

Let zeal for you consume us

FireYou are

Let passion arise

Deeper, deeper, deeper

Jesus….You are

My Desire, My Fire, My Holy Burning Desire

There is only You Jesus

You are all.

Oh how I long for You

My heart burns!

 

Jesus…

Fire, Desire, Holy

Burn Holy Fire

Refine!

 

Holy Fire burning beyond the veil

Jesus…

Your light is our home

We have come through!

Holy Fire burning

Refining

Consuming

Transforming
Holy Desire lighting our way

Directing our feet

Cloud by day, fire by night.

We run.

 

 

Jesus, you shine

Brighter than the sun

Brighter than the brightest star

Brighter than all the stars at night.

Star of the morning

Jesus there is only You

None I desire but You

Lord of my heart

Lord of my life

King of glory!

 

We run

Beholding Your face

The fire in Your eyes..

We run..

We run ..

We run!

King of my heart

King of glory!

 

We run into You

We don’t grow weary
Looking into Your eyes

Our strength is renewed

So we rise up; we run, we soar

We won’t get weary; Your joy is our strength

We will not fall!

You hold us

You lead us

You enable us,
We trust you

We run! 

 

  

We will not faint

You raise us up
And you lead us

Deeper and deeper into You.

We were made for this…

We were made for the race

Jesus we run to You

We run for You

We run with You

For You are the goal!

 

We run

You are our source

We run into you

We run faster

Our hearts beat faster as we run

Looking into your eyes

Throwing off all that would hinder

We run.

 

You are running!

We run in perfect step with You

We run in step with your Spirit

We run into Your plans and purposes.

 

 

We glory in You!

You release us like calves,

Dancing leaping as we run

Rejoicing in You

Joy!

We rejoice in the race

We run with joy, strength and thankfulness

For you have made us strong

And you have called us to run!

 

We sing as we run

We sing to the Rock

We sing to Him who is Life

We sing to the One who is the Way

We glory in You

And your goodness
We run.

 

 

We run

Hands interlocked

In perfect step

One body

One song

We run in the sufficiency of Your grace
And mercy poured out.

We run.

 

 

We run through the desert

We run through the wilderness

Through the valleys

We run on the mountain tops

There we leap for joy

We run up the mountain of the Lord

On the high places

In the low places

We run!

 

We run in the heavenlies

Where we are seated with You

We run into Your fullness

Your authority

Your power
We run Lord Jesus

We choose to run

To worship

To exalt you on high.

 

 We run for the sheer joy of knowing You

And we will not look back

We will pay the price

And count it as nothing

You made the sacrifice

We run!

   

 

We are running in all of Your ways…

Joy unspeakable and full of glory fills us

We run, we leap, we dance before You

We run with the good news of the gospel of peace

How lovely are the feet that run with You!

How anointed…

Anointed to carry Your glory

Anointed with life!

Jesus…we run!

 

You laid out the race track before us

You establish and direct the path of our feet

We run!

You hedge us in

And we win!

We run to win the crown of life

You have decreed it is ours

If we run and do not turn back

If we run and faint not.

 

The race goes on..

You are there cheering us on

Alpha, Omega, beginning and the end

We run into all You are

Into all you have for us

You’re fullness awaits us

There’s no stopping..

We run!

 

When we cross that finish line

We will hear you’re ‘well done!’

You will crown us
Great feasting awaits us

Great glory awaits us

We fix our eyes on You

And we count it all joy…

To run!

 

  

  

You never sleep,
You never slumber

You renew our strength

We run through the fire

We jump in the river

We run through the battle

We run as victors…

On the walls

Through a troupe..

We run as more than conquerors

Through your love!
We overcame because You overcame

We have the victors crown

For you are our victory Jesus

We run!

 

 

Jesus we run with You

Who can run faster than You?

You set the pace

You know our weakness

But your joy is our strength
For the hard places

For the hard races

You give grace.

 

You sing over us as we run

You cheer us on

You feed us and give us drink

You shelter us from the heat of the sun

And hide us under your wings

You turn back the weapons formed against us.

 

So we run into You

Rejoicing!

Your light keeps us running

Your word lights the way for our feet

So we can run

Even in the dark!

 

Its all going to be worth it

When we bow down

When we cast our crowns

At the feet of the One

Who enables us

To run!
