Deitrick Haddon's song 'Running' is an energetic gospel track that urges listeners to stop fleeing from God's calling. Using the story of Jonah, it illustrates the futility of running from divine purpose, emphasizing that God's love and pursuit are relentless. The lyrics address common distractions like partying and substance use, encouraging surrender and obedience. The repeated call to 'tell God yes' serves as a powerful invitation to embrace one's destiny and experience the peace that comes from yielding to God's will.

You running [x4]
Get em!
He by my side you can hear God's voice
Calling you even through all of them noise
Telling you is time to make a choice
You know is something you cannot avoid
And you're wondering why its so had different joy
You'll be feeling frustrated you may not know
And even though you got money like me were too fly
You came back to God am feeling you boy
You're running [x2]
Running from your calling
You're running [x2]
Running from your calling
Lift your hands and tell God yes
Yes yeah
You've got to tell Him yes
Running running running [x2]
Running from your calling
You remind me of Jonah the prophet
He try to run he couldn't stop Him
He got on the ship and
They kicked him up
He got swallowed up
Even the fish have to vomit him up
When God is ready the best is to say yes
I think you're ready just tell Him yes
Man I've been there before I must confess
Things are better but I told Him yes
You're running [x2]
Running from your calling
You're running [x2]
Running from your calling
Lift your hands and tell God yes
Yes yeah
You've got to tell Him yes
Running running running [x2]
Running from your calling
I see you smoking loud I know that you are high
And you're getting dressed to go that clubbing all night
But God's hands is still on your life
How long will you run
How long will you fight
Man it was love that kept you alive
And without His love you will not survive
I see you running but I don't why
Why don't you give His love a try
Running running running [x2]
Running from your calling
