There are a lot of references in the Bible to running or life in general being a journey. Psalm 139:7 speaks of the futility of running away from God. Proverbs 4:25 speaks of focusing on God in your journey. Hebrews 12:1 talks about running with perseverance our in our Christian walk. In 2 Timothy 4:7 we see 'keeping the faith' be compared to to running a race where we need to focus on the finish. In this song, Addison Road has created an upbeat reminder to run to God in all things. Through His gospel message, God has given us a light at the end of tunnel to focus on. So run toward it! When times get tough, we do need to remember as they say in the song, "I am not alone in this great big world." Look to others who can help you in your journey, and don't forgot to pray, plead, and even implore God to give you the strength you need to press on in the race. After all, it comes with a glorious finish!
Verses for Consideration:
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.
Hebrews 12:1 ESV
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
Lyrics:
Stoplights, breakdown
We cry, last try, worlds collide, time to decide Where you want to go in this great big world Where you want to go in this great big world Stuck here too long in this sad song Lost in a street, everyone has Vanished and you're all alone But you don't know where to go Yeah you're all alone And you want to go home [CHORUS] Run just as fast as you can Run, 'til you reach the end Where the fallen finally land And your world starts over again Run Next page, new day, finding my way Stumble upon the strength to move on I am not alone in this great big world And you are not alone in this great big world [CHORUS] Run just as fast as you can Run, 'til you reach the end Where the fallen finally land And your world starts over again Run Run now don't you look back Run towards the light straight ahead Where the lost souls make a beautiful sound And new life is finally found Run Your free, free falling A new beginning This is our time (CHORUS) Run just as fast as you can Run, 'til you reach the end Where the fallen finally land And your world starts over again Run now don't you look back Run towards the light straight ahead Where the lost souls make a beautiful sound And new life is finally found Run
