Your Word becomes the stakes that crucify this flesh Your truth becomes the thorn that pierces this pride The sword it rips into my soul and renders it dead The painful cries ring out inside, to live again then I must die I'm dying just to live again I'm drowning just to swim again In the rivers of undying life Awakened from a mortal's plight I'm running after You I'm reaching after You O Lord, find me - find me! In the valley of such dryness; in a land of barrenness A song I sing of plentitude - faith's song of mercy met The well of waters burst forth in me - a wellspring of His life No long is it I that live, the life I live is Christ's

Running After You
Your Word becomes the stakes that crucify this flesh Your truth becomes the thorn that pierces this pride The sword it rips into my soul and renders it dead The painful cries ring out inside, to live again then I must die I'm dying just to live again I'm drowning just to swim again In the rivers of undying life Awakened from a mortal's plight I'm running after You I'm reaching after You O Lord, find me - find me! In the valley of such dryness; in a land of barrenness A song I sing of plentitude - faith's song of mercy met The well of waters burst forth in me - a wellspring of His life No long is it I that live, the life I live is Christ's
