Run Into Your Arms
Planetshakers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hide myself from You
Where could I run that You won't
Be there waiting for me
Closer to You I find my heart is drawing near
And I need Your love
And I need Your touch
And I will fall into Your mercy
I will sing forevermore
You're calling me to come to You
Gonna run into Your arms
Like a father with his child
Won't You show me now Your saving Grace
Yes Your saving Grace
Lord I want to be with You
Come and show me now Your endless love
As I reach for You
