You’ve built a place where they won’t roam No more searching—we’re finally home With all You’ve given me to use They still find ways to refuse Heaven and hell are in the balance You gave each soul their talents Mine feel heavy, just like weights I can’t lead them to the gates Chorus I keep running, through the storm Holding tight to all You’ve formed I can’t rest while they’re astray I’ll keep running to that day Lift my voice so they can hear Lead them gently, draw them near If I fall, don’t let me stay Keep me running to that day Verse 2 If I can’t lead the ones I love How do I reach the rest above? How can I leave my friends behind And still be kind to those I find? I know their fearful, painful fate And it’s something I deeply hate But You leave me then not knowing when They’ll be punished for all their sin I’m still forced to run this race When I alone have known Your grace Why this route? Just tap me out And use someone else to shout To get their attention, lead them home So together we’ll worship at Your throne Chorus I keep running, through the storm Holding tight to all You’ve formed I can’t rest while they’re astray I’ll keep running to that day Lift my voice so they can hear Lead them gently, draw them near If I fall, don’t let me stay Keep me running to that day Outro If I fall, don’t let me stay Keep my running to that day
