I Run To You
“I Run To You” is exactly what it sounds like. When everything else runs out, you run to God. This song is that run.
About this song
I released this one June 24, 2026, as a standalone single, and I let it take its time. Almost five minutes. Some things can’t be rushed, and running back to God is one of them. It’s a song about devotion — about intimacy with the Lord. Not the loud reverence of a packed room. The quiet kind. The kind that belongs to a soul turning toward the One it trusts. I left space in this song on purpose. The space is the invitation.
The title is the whole move. Running toward God, not away from Him. Closing the distance instead of standing at the edge of it. Our catalog pairs it with Psalm 42 — the deer panting for streams of water — and Psalm 63, the soul seeking God in a dry and weary land. I’ll be straight with you: those pairings are editorial, from the catalog, not something locked in from the writing itself. But they fit. This is a thirst that knows where the water is, and there’s rest even in the running.
If you lead worship and you’re weighing this one for Sunday, don’t ask about energy. Ask about atmosphere. This song is for the tender moments — when the room is ready to get still, and hearts are ready to lean in toward Jesus.
Bringing it into worship
Save it for Communion, or for seasons of personal devotion. It’s reverent and unhurried, and it will settle a room if you let it. At more than four and a half minutes, it works as a listening moment or a soft underscore while the elements are served, and it sits well next to other slow, intimate songs of nearness. Your people may sing along quietly — but its real strength is holding space for a private response, one heart answering God directly.
