Run and Run (Christ Is Mine Forevermore)
On Sunday we learned a new worship song “Run and Run (Christ Is Mine Forevermore)”. We used the song as part of our time at the Lord’s Table. It is a song loaded with powerful lyrics. The lyrics are so rich that within the first minute of originally hearing the song I knew it was destined to be a favorite of mine. The song speaks of the power of the Gospel, the gift of Christ’s atoning death, the meaning of justification, the gift of Christ’s righteousness – and so much more!
I am putting the lyrics below, along with a link to the song. I encourage you to listen to it again, and also to read and meditate on the great Gospel truths contained in the lyrics. Enjoy!
In Christ,
Bret
You can watch a video of the song being performed live here.
Run and run, the law demands
But gives me neither feet nor hands
Better news, the gospel brings
It bids me fly, it gives me wings
Bearing shame and all my sin
There, in my place, He stood condemned
Here I stand now justified
My guilt is His, His grace is mine
Praise the Lord, oh my soul, praise the Lord
Now and forevermore, my heart confess
“Christ is all my righteousness”
Christ is all my righteousness
My accuser, he may roar
Of countless sins that I have done
These I know and thousands more
Behold, my God, He knows not one
Praise the Lord, oh my soul, praise the Lord
Now and forevermore, my heart confess
“Christ is all my righteousness”
Christ is all my righteousness
When I stand before the throne
There dressed in beauty not my own
Then, Lord, shall I fully know
Not ’til that day how much I owe
Praise the Lord, oh my soul, praise the Lord
Now and forevermore, my heart confess
“Christ is all my righteousness”
Praise the Lord, oh my soul, praise the Lord
For now, this sinner’s heart has found its rest
And Christ is all my righteousness
Christ is all my righteousness
