Amy Grant's 'Don't Run Away' is a gentle but urgent invitation to stop fleeing from God and turn back to His love. The song speaks to the inner turmoil of someone whose mind is racing and whose heart is torn, questioning the purpose of their life. Grant reassures that Jesus already died for them, so there is no need to waver. She warns that running away leads nowhere and leaves you alone, while God is waiting to remove hatred and fill the heart with love. The message is one of surrender, urging the listener to give Him all their love and choose wisely today.

Tell me, does your head keep turnin'
From the feelings churnin' deep inside of you
Tell me, when your mind is racin'
Are the things you're chasin' worth your while
Well, tell me, don't you ever question
Why you're always guessin' reasons for your life
Listen, there's no need to waiver
Long ago the savior died for you, so
[Chorus:]
Don't run away
You're headed nowhere
Keep up the pace
You're gonna go there
You'll fell alone
Who do you know there
Please turn back now
Don't run away
He wants your heart now
Hear what I say
And play it smart now
Wise up today
And give Him all of your love
Tell me, does the fear of losin'
Keep your heart from choosin' who has hold of you
Tell me, have you felt a yearnin'
Deep inside a burnin' need for love now
Tell me, can you sense the fightin'
Hate is now igniting fear of love in you
Listen, God is still here waitin'
He'll remove the hating part of you, so
[Chorus]
