Mosaic MSC - Running To You Lyrics
Lyrics
Breathe into these bones
Speak to waves and winds
There's no storm louder than
The power of Your love
Heal these blind eyes
Fill my empty heart
Only You can bring the life
That lasts forever
My soul will rest in You
My God, I will wait for You
My hope is in You my Savior
Jesus, calm this storm
Let me hear your word
And I surrender all I have
To be with the One I belong to
My soul will rest in You
My God, I will wait for You
My hope is in You my Savior
I am running to You
I am running where You are
Meet me here, meet me here

MOSAIC MSC- Running To You (Live Audio)
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on April 21, 2015, as part of their live album *MSC (Live in LA)*, Mosaic MSC's "Running To You" stands as a profound declaration of desperate, unyielding faith. This song isn't merely a collection of verses; it's a raw, honest conversation with the Divine, born from a place of human vulnerability meeting divine omnipotence. It captures the essential Christian journey: acknowledging our limitations and actively seeking the boundless power and comfort found only in God. The narrative woven through the lyrics speaks to a universal human condition of facing storms, emptiness, and spiritual blindness, all while clinging to the unwavering hope of a Savior.
The song immediately establishes a tone of fervent petition, opening with a plea for divine intervention. The lines asking God to "breathe into these bones" powerfully echo the prophet Ezekiel's vision of the dry bones in Ezekiel 37, where God alone can bring life to what is seemingly dead and beyond hope. This isn't just a request for physical breath, but for spiritual resuscitation, a revival of a weary soul. Following this, the desire for God to "speak to waves and winds" draws a direct parallel to the miraculous authority of Jesus calming the storm, as seen in passages like Matthew 8:26 and Mark 4:39. This imagery underscores an understanding that no earthly chaos, no matter how overwhelming, can rival the supreme power of God's love. It sets the stage for a message of trust: despite the intensity of personal or external tempests, God's presence is the ultimate quietude and strength.
Further into the song, the personal nature of the prayer intensifies, shifting to a cry for inner healing and fulfillment. The request to "heal these blind eyes" speaks to more than just physical sight; it’s a longing for spiritual clarity, for eyes to be opened to God's truth and presence, much like the blind man healed in John 9, or the spiritual blindness described in 2 Corinthians 4:4. This spiritual insight allows one to perceive the world and God's plan with new understanding. The yearning to "fill my empty heart" addresses a deep human need, a void that worldly pursuits can never satisfy, only the living water offered by Christ, as Jesus spoke of in John 4:13-14. This spiritual emptiness is contrasted with the promise that "only You can bring the life that lasts forever," pointing directly to the eternal life and abundance found through faith in Jesus, a cornerstone of Christian belief articulated in John 3:16 and John 10:28.
The recurring refrain, "My soul will rest in You, My God, I will wait for You, My hope is in You my Savior," serves as the song's anchor, a steadfast declaration of dependence. The concept of the soul finding rest in God is deeply rooted in Scripture, mirroring Psalm 62:1, where the psalmist declares, "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him." This rest isn't passive inactivity, but an active trust, a profound peace that comes from surrendering control. The commitment to "wait for You" is an act of spiritual discipline, an expectation rooted in faith, as encouraged in Isaiah 40:31, "those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength." It’s an assurance that even in the midst of turmoil or delayed answers, God remains faithful, and hope in the Savior is an unshakeable foundation, as Romans 15:13 reminds us, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him."
As the song culminates, it transitions from pleading to active surrender and pursuit. The repeated lines, "I am running to You, I am running where You are, Meet me here, meet me here," encapsulate the core message. This isn't a passive waiting, but an urgent, deliberate movement towards God. It evokes the imagery of the prodigal son's return (Luke 15:20) or the zealous pursuit of God depicted in Psalm 42:1, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God." The plea, "Meet me here," is a deeply personal and intimate invitation for God to draw near, to manifest His presence in the midst of the individual's current reality. It’s a bold expression of faith, trusting that God is not distant but intimately involved, always ready to respond to a seeking heart. This song, in its entirety, is a powerful call to radical dependence, a reminder that true life, peace, and hope are found not by standing still in our struggles, but by actively, unreservedly running towards the unchanging love and power of God. It encourages every believer to pursue an encounter with the One who offers ultimate belonging and eternal life, no matter the storms faced along the way.
