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
