Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thank you for the chance to live again
I will run always for you
Clouds had gathered all around my head
But these hands they lifted me
And I'll tell of this love that saved me

Thank you for the chance to live again
I will run always for you
Walking closer you are all I have in this world only you
And I'll tell of this love that saved me

And I'll wait for this light to break
I'll come to you, yes I'll run to you
And I'll wait for this light to break




I'll run to you, yes I'll come to you
I'll be one with you

Some music never loses its value, and never gets old. This is one fine example.

Martin Smith has that knack,  most of his songs are timeless.

Sumit Tariyani

I am sure how Martin would have felt a life after death. I was also saved from a fatal bike accident during outreach ministry. But Lord saved me miraculously. It boosted my faith in Christ to continue in ministry in such a tough place. I m from India. And its not easy to do ministry in such idol worship places. please pray for my ministry in Karsog

GILES !
