Runnin
Now you come up under
Me every time I stumble
And you think you're covered by me
Every time, well I guess so cause you're mine
I've been running from the truth
And mercy it sure does hurt
My face still in the dirt from the stumble
I've been running from the truth
Fancy free and foot loose
Runnin
I've been running from the truth
I've been chosen been here since my youth
Runnin
and I'm runnin
no, I'm not funnin
I ain't playin
just sayin
I AM
Runnin
and I'm runnin
no, I'm not funnin
I ain't playin
just sayin
How is it, I keep on going
I'm able ready really stable let' keep the ball rollin
And to think you're covered me
Everytime well I guess I'm really mine, no you're mine
I've been running from the truth
I've been chosen been here since my youth
Runnin
and I'm runnin
no, I'm not funnin
I ain't playin
just sayin
I AM
Runnin
and I'm runnin
no, I'm not funnin
I ain't playin
just sayin
Let Him come to you but you don't have to be subdued
If we can't be still instead of goin in fear
Let's just start running toward the Lord
My God will see us through all you have to do is
Now you come up under God everytime stop asking WHY?
Runnin
and I'm runnin
no, I'm not funnin
I ain't playin
just sayin
I AM
Runnin
and I'm runnin
no, I'm not funnin
I ain't playin
just sayin
I AM
Runnin
