If you’ve been following my previous posts, you’ll remember we are going song by song through Stryper’s new album, Murder By Pride (available on ).

Today we listen to the song Run In You:

This song is slower pace than most of the other tracks that comprise Murder By Pride.  It’s not quite a ballad, but not quite a rocker.

The lyrics are below:

Run In You

(Verse 1)

If I see You standing, one hundred stars away
It feels as though You’re touching me
If I am landing, with a stormy night delay
It’s You I want, it’s You I need

When I’m lost I close my eyes
And suddenly I’m home

(Chorus)

I just wanna run in You
I just wanna hide in You
I just wanna come to You
And not thirst anymore
I just wanna walk with You
I just wanna ride with You
I just wanna talk to You
And not thirst anymore

(Verse 2)

I feel demanding, I know I’m selfish too
I often live in my own world
I’ve been commanding, it’s my way or we’re through
If I am sand, you are the pearl

When I’m found I open my eyes
And it’s You I see

(Chorus)

The lyrics aren’t very deep or earth shattering, but they convey a longing to know Jesus better.  I think the music makes you feel that joy and expectancy too.

Michael Sweet’s vocals are amazing and they convey a wide range of emotion.  I hope they play this song live when I go see them in concert!!  Only 3 months, 21 days and 20 hours to go!
