I Will Run To You
Hillsong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And Your hand, it comforts me
From the ends of the Earth to the depth of my heart
Let Your mercy and strength be seen
You call me to Your purpose
As angels understand
For Your glory, may You draw all men
And I will run to You
To Your words of truth
Not by might, not by power
But by the spirit of God
Yes I will run the race
'Till I see Your face
Oh let me live in the glory of Your grace
The lyrics of Hillsong's "I Will Run to You" express a deep and sincere desire to draw closer to God in times of trouble and seek refuge in His mercy and grace. The opening lines "Your eye is on the sparrow, and Your hand, it comforts me" refer to the comforting embrace of God that is available to all those who seek Him with a pure heart. The notion that God cares for even the smallest creature in His creation is deeply comforting and reassuring to those who feel lost or alone in the world.
The following lines "From the ends of the Earth to the depth of my heart, let Your mercy and strength be seen" speak to the all-encompassing nature of God's love and power. No matter where we are in the world, or how lost or broken our hearts may feel, God's love and mercy can still reach us if we are willing to turn to Him in trust and faith.
The final verse "And I will run to You, to Your words of truth, not by might, not by power, but by the spirit of God" is a powerful declaration of faith and devotion. The song acknowledges that our own strength and abilities are limited and that we can only truly find strength and direction by aligning ourselves with God's will and purpose for our lives.
