Running
Flame & Steve T Lyrics

Oh ya Steve T. in the building hey
Introducing Steve T. as part of the song

We got our hands to the plow and we running man we working hard over here
We are dedicated to our work for God and giving it our all

Used to run from Him but now I'm running for my God
I used to avoid God, but now I am fully committed to serving Him

Running for my God Running for my God Running for my God
Repeating the idea of running for God as a main theme

Every time this record play run it back
Encouraging listeners to replay the song whenever it is played

Hop in the word to run the plays like a running back
Using the Bible to set the plays for life, like a football player

I'm moving moving like I'm running track
Living life with energy and purpose, like an athlete on a track

Gotta stay busy cause the Lord's soon to come back
Keeping busy with God's work because His return is near

I'm running for the Lord like it ain't no tomorrow
Committing fully to serving God without hesitation

Ain't seen hell so I'm winning like Chicago
Not experiencing hell means a victory like the Chicago Bulls winning a basketball game

Yep cause I been called to the pavement
Feeling a strong calling to serve God in daily life

And you know for the Lord I run miles like Davis
Running great distances in life for God, like a marathon runner

These new shoes call em peace of the gospel
Finding peace through the gospel and being equipped to serve God

It's a tough race but I die if I got to
Serving God may be difficult, but I am willing to give my life for it

And you know it's only Jesus that I'm running for
Being fully committed to serving Jesus above all else

Catch me on the move like I thought I heard the gun blow
Moving quickly as if a race has just begun

And I sip that life water never getting thirsty
Finding satisfaction and fulfillment in Jesus without needing anything else

I'm going spend the word and get Jackie Joyner Kersee
Sharing God's Word and being an example like Olympic track and field athlete Jackie Joyner Kersee

Cause the track is His will and His will keep me going
Staying on the path God has set and drawing strength and motivation from it

Even though your boy ain't never James worthy
Recognizing personal limitations, but striving to serve God as best as possible

Now Taylor Swift started strong but the one who will duel tell the end He gonna be on top
Drawing a comparison between a race and a Taylor Swift song, but recognizing that ultimately those who continue serving God will come out on top

And Jesus said we should all stay occupied So what I look like letting time fly by
Following Jesus' command to stay busy and being productive with time

I'm here to promote Jesus but I am not a publicist
Describing the goal of sharing Jesus' message without being motivated by self-promotion

I am just a light trying to show you where the rubbish is
Acting as a source of guidance and direction towards the things of God

The world is a trick filled with magicians rappers actors athletes politicians
Describing the world as full of people who trick or deceive, including those in influential roles

But imagine what can happen if we had a pile a Christians Filled with the Spirit and wisdom intermissions
Imagining the positive impact if more Christians were filled with the Holy Spirit and wisdom, creating moments of rest or pause for reflection

This ain't no intermission homie you know what I'm talking bout Kids pulling nines out while we calling time out
Acknowledging that life does not always provide moments of rest or reflection, and describing unsettling or violent times

Gathering possessions snacking on refreshments While the world speaks drinks like they need a pregnant
Describing a materialistic and self-indulgent culture that lacks spiritual sustenance

That's why we need Jesus for biblical reflection
Highlighting the importance of relying on Jesus and His Word for guidance and direction

This your boy Flame til He come see me repping
Pledging to continue serving and representing God until the return of Jesus

So many people follow Jesus for riches and caviar Til I expire told the messiah I'm serving and working hard
Not being motivated by worldly success or riches, but dedicating oneself to serving God faithfully

Cause it's true you can recognize a tree by it's fruit And I'm trying to bear mine no spare time
Describing the importance of actions reflecting one's faith, and committing to using time effectively for God

I'm running for the Lord like it ain't no tomorrow
Repeating the commitment to fully serve God without hesitation

Used to run from Him but now I'm running for my God Running for my God Running for my God
Reiterating the idea of once avoiding God, but now fully serving and running for Him

I'm running
Final repetition of the theme of running for God
