I Run To Thee

This is the song I recently wrote and played at my church a few weeks ago. It's about how so often, we go to God in our hard times, in our desperate times when we need his help and intervention. But God wants us to come to him not only in those times, but in our good times, when we are rejoicing in life. He wants to share in that happiness and joy with us. I can't provide the music for you because there wasn't a recording done, but here are the words. Hope you enjoy, and as always, feel free to leave comments with your thoughts. :-)

I Run To Thee

My eyes now close,
they wait for peaceful sleep.
My heart such ache,
from longing buried deep.
My soul is weary,
tired of the life it sees.
And broken in my human way,
I run to thee.

With sadness only nighttime knew,
when the stars had gone away.
Crumbled in the life I faked,
and made up day to day.
Life's slipping fast,
my rope's last knot undone.
A prodigal, yet fallen son,
I run to thee.

Please take me in,
please hold me near,
if I cry within your presence,
please comfort every tear.
As my father up in heaven,
you feel everything in me.
So in my darkest, trying moments,
I run to thee.

In despair,
I called out to you.
Refreshing grace,
inspired my life anew.
An answered prayer,
pulled from the stormy sea.
And with vibrant joy to lead my way,
I run to thee.

Oh take me in,
Lord hold me near,
If I cry within your presence,
please cherish every tear.
As my father up in heaven,
you feel everything in me,
so in my darkest, trying moments,
and in my life rejoicing moments,
I run to thee.
