Cause all I want is you
All I crave is you
I will run the race set before me
I will seek your face as the prize of my life
I will run the race set before me
I will seek your face as the prize of my life
I will run (I will run)

All I crave is you
All I want is you
All I crave is you
I will run the race set before me
I will seek your face as the prize of my life
I will run the race set before me
I will seek your face as the prize of my life
I will run (I will run)
I will run (I will run)
I will run (I will run)

Meaning & Inspiration
I Will Run uses the image of a race to express focused devotion to God. The repeated promise to run the course set ahead closely reflects the language of Hebrews, where endurance and attention to Jesus define faithful perseverance. Here, the prize is described as seeking the face of God, so the central goal is not achievement, recognition, or comfort. The lyric instead places divine presence at the center of spiritual desire.
Its bridge shifts from athletic imagery to thirst, declaring that the soul pants for God alone. That line clearly recalls the opening of Psalm 42, where longing for God is compared with a deer seeking flowing water. The repetitions of running, wanting, and craving create a sustained expression of single-minded worship. They also connect endurance with desire: the race continues because God remains the sought-after prize. With few images and a concentrated vocabulary, the song presents discipleship as persistent pursuit shaped by longing, attention, and an undivided aim.
