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

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
