[Verse 1]
When you speak to me
I have direction
but I woke up today
and you ain't said nothing
which way do I go
and tell me what do I do
but I will never know
if I don't get to you
[Chorus]
so I'm runnin
if I can't walk then I'll crawl
and I'll get up if I fall
gotta get to where you are
so I'm runnin
and I won't stop for nothin
it's hard but it's worth it
when it's you Lord that I want
[Verse 2]
Lookin and lookin
said I'm just trying to find you
feels like a dead end
I'm so lost without you
but I'm feeling desperate
and I don't wanna feel this
I need a solution
and walking just won't get it
[Chorus]
so I'm runnin
if I can't walk then I'll crawl
and I'll get up if I fall
gotta get to where you are
so I'm runnin
and I won't stop for nothin
it's hard but it's worth it
when it's you Lord that I want
[Bridge]
As the deer pantith for the water
so my soul longeth after thee
you alone are my hearts desire
and I long to worship thee
[Chorus]
so I'm runnin
if I can't walk then I'll crawl
and I'll get up if I fall
gotta get to where you are
so I'm runnin
and I won't stop for nothin
it's hard but it's worth it
when it's you Lord that I want
