I run to Christ when chased by fear And find a refuge sure "Believe in Me," His voice I hear His words and wounds secure I run to Christ when torn by grief And find abundant peace "I too had tears," He gently speaks Thus joy and sorrow meet
I run to Christ when worn by life And find my soul refreshed "Come unto Me," He calls through strife Fatigue gives way to rest I run to Christ when vexed by hell And find a mighty arm "The devil flees," the Scriptures tell He roars, but cannot harm ♪ I run to Christ when stalked by sin And find a sure escape "Deliver me," I cry to Him Temptation yields to grace I run to Christ when plagued by shame And find my one defense "I bore God's wrath," He pleads my case My Advocate and Friend
