why would i run? Lyrics

That weapon formed against me, but it ain't gon' never prosper

I flee temptations, but in the distance, I hear them calling

Why do I run when I hear that a perfect Father knocking?

That weapon formed against me, but it ain't gon' never prosper

I flee temptations, but in the distance, I hear them calling

Why do I run when I hear that a perfect Father knocking?

Why would I run when I know that my perfect Father wants me?

I praise the Lord again

Tell me why I'm fighting this feeling, I gotta run again

Tell me why I'm desparate for energy but not plugging in

Tell me why I'm blocking His message with all my wondering

I–

I like to talk a lot

But I ain't talking to my Father, and I haven't gotten far

I ain't dipping in my Bible, matter fact, it needs a dust

When I see Jesus all around me, I just pull the covers up

And it's enough

Tell me why I'm lying, it's a bluff

Tell me why I tell myself that I will never measure up

Tell me why my Father chose to send His one and only son

And when He died, and came to life for me, that still wasn't enough?

I really pray that I could get back on track again

I really pray that I don't feel like I gotta pretend

I really pray that I can keep myself from giving in

Given all these blessings, blessed to even get a glimpse of Him

Jesus saw me slip away and left the door open for me

Jesus made another way when it got cold, dark, and stormy

Jesus took away my pain when I was feeling unworthy

So I will praise His holy name all through the night 'til the morning

That weapon formed against me, but it ain't gon' never prosper

I flee temptations, but in the distance, I hear them calling

Why do I run when I hear that a perfect Father knocking?

Why would I run when I know that my perfect Father wants me?

Who would I call if it wasn't on Jesus?

What would I learn if it wasn't 'bout Jesus?

When would I dance if it wasn't my Jesus?

Where would I go if it wasn't with Jesus?

Why would I run if it wasn't to Jesus?

How would I live if it wasn't for Jesus?

Can't do this life if it isn't with Jesus.

Can't do it right if it isn't for Jesus.

That weapon formed against me, but it ain't gon' never prosper

I flee temptations, but in the distance, I hear them calling

Why do I run when I hear that a perfect Father knocking?

Why would I run when I know that my perfect Father wants me?
