Intro
Verse
Ready at the line looking out
Looking out all that’s ahead
When every heart
confesses your name
We’re pressing on
towards that day
We're never gonna stop
We're never gonna stop
Looking out all that’s ahead
When every heart
confesses your name
We’re pressing on
towards that day
We're never gonna stop
We're never gonna stop
Verse 2
Letting go of every mistake
Throwing off the
chains of restraint
All that will remain,
a passion for your name
Burning as we run this race
We're never gonna stop
We're never gonna stop
Throwing off the
chains of restraint
All that will remain,
a passion for your name
Burning as we run this race
We're never gonna stop
We're never gonna stop
Chorus
We are Running,
Chasing after all that you are
We are Running
Because all that you are
is all that we want now.
Chasing after all that you are
We are Running
Because all that you are
is all that we want now.
Verse 3
Every stride is taken in faith
Every step compelled by your grace
We're taking up our cross,
no matter what the cost
We give it all to go your way
Every step compelled by your grace
We're taking up our cross,
no matter what the cost
We give it all to go your way
Interlude
Bridge
Onwards we draw towards Your light
Desperately seek to know
you more and more
Further we look beyond ourselves
To your love, to your love
Desperately seek to know
you more and more
Further we look beyond ourselves
To your love, to your love
Running - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
We are running, chasing after all that God is. We are running because all that He is is all that we want now. This is the message of the song “Running” by Hillsong Worship.
The Bible tells us that we should run the race of faith with endurance (Hebrews 12:1). We should be pressing on towards the goal of knowing God more and more (Philippians 3:14). We should be letting go of our mistakes and throwing off the chains of restraint that keep us from running the race of faith (Romans 8:1). We should be taking up our cross and following Jesus no matter what the cost (Luke 9:23).
The lyrics of this song remind us that we should be running the race of faith with passion and grace. We should be running with faith, knowing that every stride is taken in faith and every step is compelled by God’s grace. We should be running towards God’s light, desperately seeking to know Him more and more. We should be looking beyond ourselves to His love.
Let us remember that we are running the race of faith with endurance and passion. Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and run the race of faith with joy and hope. Let us never give up and never stop running.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for the reminder that we are running the race of faith with endurance and passion. Help us to keep our eyes fixed on you and to never give up. Help us to run the race of faith with joy and hope. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
