As many of you know, music is so important to me. There are many, many songs I have heard over the years that have resonated with me on a higher-level. When I say higher-level, I am speaking of a song that touches your heart in a profound way or stirs up things in you that need a good stir.
Third Day has had numerous songs over the years that have had such an affect. Songs like, Consuming Fire, Show Me Your Glory, and I Deserve? have literally stopped me in my tracks and made me reassess. Recently I have went through a spiritual and emotional awakening. My faith has always been important to me, but lately, that faith has been turned upside down by the Lord. God has shown me many areas that need improvement in my life and I am working through them. One song by Third Day, Run to You, has truly been the go-to song for this new period in my life. The gist of this song centers on the Biblical story of the prodigal son. My connection to this song is more mental than geographical. I am working on giving up trying to be cool or be a certain image and trusting God in EVERYTHING. I realize that some of this stuff may be more than you want to read and that is alright, seriously. I just could not go another minute without sharing the good things God is doing in my life.
“Run to You” By: Third Day-with additional vocals by Flyleaf’s Lacey Mosley
I was tired of waiting
Playing all the games and
Living in a place that was not for me
So I thought it was time
For me to get what’s mine
And to do it all, everything I dreamed
What I thought was the best of me turned to be
All the worst I could find
If I run to you
Will you hold me in your arms forevermore
If I run to you
Will you hold me in your arms forevermore
Now I got a feeling
That I’ve got to leave and
Find a way back to where I came from
Though I don’t deserve it
I know it’s unheard but
Living here without you, my life is done
I confess that I shouldn’t have run from you
Now I know I was wrong
Nowhere to run to
And no one to turn to
I’m dying out here on my own
Long before I even thought of returning
Your arms are wide open
Waiting for me to come home
