You were God, from the outset
Powerful and creative
You have sought us here before
You called all the stars and the earth to existence
You are God, You are holy
History's your story
You who was and is and forever will be
God we live for Your glory
So, we will run altogether with hearts aflame
With a fire that can't be tamed
Our God, all glory to Your name, Jesus
You are God, You are freedom
You're alive now within us
You who sought us here before
You conquered the grave
You're living on Your promise
So we will run altogether, our hearts aflame
With a fire that can't be tamed
Our God, all glory to Your name
We will run, our surrender to bring You fame
Our desire that You be praised
Our God, all glory to Your name, Jesus
We give You praise
So great is Your name
You're worthy of all our praise
We will run altogether, our hearts aflame
With a fire that can't be tamed
Our God, all glory to Your name
We will run, our surrender to bring You fame
Our desire, that You be praised
Our God, all glory to Your name, Jesus
Jesus
About This Song
"Run" is a passionate worship anthem that celebrates God's eternal nature and sovereignty while calling believers to respond with wholehearted devotion and unity. The lyrics weave together themes of God's creative power, holiness, and unchanging character, building from reverent acknowledgment of His divine attributes to an explosive declaration of collective worship where hearts are "aflame with a fire that can't be tamed." Musically, the song follows Hillsong's signature contemporary worship style with building dynamics that crescendo into an anthemic, stadium-ready chorus designed for congregational singing. The central metaphor of "running" together represents the urgency and unity of believers responding to God's glory, transforming worship from individual reflection into a communal sprint toward divine purpose. This track exemplifies Hillsong's ability to craft songs that are both theologically rich and emotionally stirring, making complex doctrinal truths accessible through memorable melodies and vivid imagery.
