Lyrics to "I Want To Run With The Horses"

Jeremiah 12:1-6

The easy road

The silver and gold

And everything they gather

Will be gone

They speak Your name

They play the game
But You are far from their heart

They never draw near

In the blink of an eye

In the heat of the fire

They fall away from the light

forever and ever

(Chorus)

But I want to run with the horses

I want to run with the horses

Carry me in Your hands

It’s You, O Christ, I need

I am sGrasping on to nothing

Only You, only You

The land cries out

We’re losing this race

A desolation song

From this barren place

But You will try my heart

By Your mercy, set me apart

And You will guide my feet

To the glory that awaits

In the blink of an eye

In the heat of the fire

They fall away from the light

forever and ever

(Chorus)

But I want to run with the horses

I want to run with the horses

Carry me in Your hands

You, O Christ, I need

Grasping on to nothing

Only You, only You
