The Sound When We Come Running

We come running
We come running
We come running
We come running

Under a pale blue sky
You never felt so cold
Another sleepless night
How could you ever let go
How do you recognize
The dirty face of gold
Behind that crooked line
Where you never knew you'd go

Headed for the open door
Tell me what you're waiting for
Look across the great divide
Soon they're gonna hear
The sound, the sound, the sound
When we come running
Never go where we belong
Echoes in the dead of dawn
Soon they're gonna know
The sound, the sound, the sound
When we come running

The sound, the sound, the sound
When we come running

When the worlds gone quiet
I see you dancing slow
Feeling satisfied
Where you never knew you'd go

Headed for the open door
Tell me what you're waiting for
Look across the great divide
Soon they're gonna hear
The sound, the sound, the sound
When we come running
Never go where we belong
Echoes in the dead of dawn
Soon they're gonna know
The sound, the sound, the sound
When we come running

The sound, the sound, the sound
When we come running

Days go by
Feeling broke and tired
Remember
Always remember

The sound, the sound, the sound
When we come running
The sound, the sound, the sound
When we come running

Headed for the open door
Tell me what you're waiting for
Look across the great divide
Soon they're gonna hear
The sound, the sound, the sound
When we come running
Never go where we belong
Echoes in the dead of dawn
Soon they're gonna know
The sound, the sound, the sound
When we come running

The sound, the sound, the sound
When we come running

A dream is coming together.  Man oh man I love this song!  Can you see God's people, all together, united in once cause, running toward their goals?  Just stop and clear your mind for a second, set aside all the stuff you're all twisted up in and breathe.  

Okay.

Now, think about all the people you love, the people you run with, the people you do life with, the people you go to church with, the people you have every day because of modern technology.  Now imagine all of them standing ready to run, how quiet it is, the air filled with anticipation, everyone waiting for that moment of release.

Boom!

Off they go!

The sound of their shoes hitting the pavement!

Can you see it?

Beautiful smiling faces running for their lives!  They're running to dreams, they are running to destiny, they are running to Jesus!

God is talking about my ministry now, His ministry, this thing we do together.  

I'm a different flavor, so you know whatever I do is not going to be the way anyone else has ever done it before.  You know it's going to have my own spin on it, my own 

I'm not worried what others will think, this is between the Lord and me.  

The gospel is supposed to make us attractive to the rest of the world.

I have the freedom and encouragement to do it the way I see it.

There's going to be hip hop (of course), all the classics, songs Jesus could have written buried in every day music, there's going to be excitement!  I see it!  Lots and lots of excitement about our Daddy's love.

He's given me a song to run with, this one, so fitting for the dreams I have.

He's given me a scripture to run with, invite the misfits, Luke 14 12-14.

Luke 14:12-14 The Message (MSG)

12-14 Then he turned to the host. “The next time you put on a dinner, don’t just invite your friends and family and rich neighbors, the kind of people who will return the favor. Invite some people who never get invited out, the misfits from the wrong side of the tracks. You’ll be—and experience—a blessing. They won’t be able to return the favor, but the favor will be returned—oh, how it will be returned!—at the resurrection of God’s people.”
