Running from the Son

The time I spent hunting sin, living on the run
I’d like to forget
Every moment spent
Running from the Son

Torment, discord, mal-content, it really isn’t fun
Wasting time
And soul and life
Running from the Son

He pursues His child beloved, leaves the flock behind
Love has found
A soul was bound
Now no longer blind

I surrender all the cares, giving up what’s mine
The Great I AM
Holds in His Hand
The life I’ve longed to find

Free from burden condemnation, all sin is washed away
With a view
To start anew
Each and every day

Longing now to walk with You, the battle has been won
There’s no alarms
Safe in Your arms
No longer Running from the Son

I Miss You

It still hurts seeing the picture of what you could have been
God, You know the plans
I’m the one that stands
To gain
Your eyes must be like the stars that fill the sky
Your smile like the rain
Wash away the pain
I feel

I miss you
Though I’ve never seen your face
Never felt you sweet embrace
I miss you

Knowing that in the August breeze I’d have held you
The turning of the autumn leaves
You were never meant to see
Instead
You sit with the one who made the earth and sky
The fight was over before begun
Now you sit with the Son
Embraced

I miss you
My arms are empty, my heart is full
God’s grace is enough to get me through
I miss you
