The second verse of the song compares the singer's current state to a child who has lost their way. The singer feels lost and calls out to God to rescue them. The phrase "if you show your face, I will run to you" highlights the depth of the singer's longing for God. The third verse of the song mentions the power of God's name as a strong tower where the righteous can run and be saved.
