Lyrics:
Verse 1
I won’t fear the terrors of the night 
I won’t fear the arrows that fly
Nor disaster that strikes 
In the midday’s light

Though thousands may fall at my side
Ten thousand at my hand to the right
Disaster will pass me by
As I dwell in the Most High     

Chorus
So I run to You
No harm will overtake me when I seek Your 
face
You will shelter me and be my hiding place
You’re my protector
God, I run to You, I run to You

And when l run to You
You will cover me in every circumstance
You will surround me with songs of 
deliverance 
You’re my defender 
God, I run to You, I run to You

Verse 2
In the trouble that each day may bring
Your right hand upholds me, to You I cling
Because You’re my help, I’ll sing         
In the shadow of Your wings

Chorus 
So I run to You
No harm will overtake me when I seek Your 
face
You will shelter me and be my hiding place
You’re my protector
God, I run to You, I run to You

And when l run to You
You will cover me in every circumstance
You will surround me with songs of 
deliverance 
You’re my defender 
God, I run to You, I run to You

Bridge
You are my strong tower
My refuge from the storm
My redeemer, my avenger 
The victory is already Yours    

Chorus 
So I run to You
No harm will overtake me when I seek Your 
face
You will shelter me and be my hiding place
You’re my protector
God, I run to You, I run to You

And when l run to You
You will cover me in every circumstance
You will surround me with songs of 
deliverance 
You’re my defender 
God, I run to You, I run to You

I run to You

NOTE: Though all of my songs have Biblical context, this song is composed almost entirely from Bible scriptures.
