Loving Jesus Through Country Music

As I have mentioned previously, I have found that not having TV makes you less relevant to those around you. I've done a few things to help with that including listening to a country radio station on my drive to work. They actually report news and keep me pretty up to date with what is going on. Besides, country music is my guilty pleasure. I like many types of music but there is something about a good country song that makes me pretty happy.

The other day I was driving down the road and heard the song I Run to You by Lady Antebellum. As I listened to it, I fell in love with it. It's been a tough school year and the lyrics were something I felt my heart singing to God. I don't call Him "baby" so I just sing "Jesus" in its place. Hope it encourages you today too!

I Run to You by Lady Antebellum

I run from hate, I run from prejudice
I run from pessimists, but I run too late
I run my life, or is it running me?
Run from my past
I run too fast or too slow it seems

When lies become the truth,
That's when I run to you

This world keeps spinning faster
Into a new disaster so I run to you, I run to you Jesus
When it all starts coming undone,
Jesus you're the only one I run to, I run to you

We run on fumes, your life and mine
Make the sands of time slippin' right on through
And love's the only truth
That's why I run to you

This world keeps spinning faster
Into a new disaster so I run to you, I run to you Jesus
When it all starts coming undone,
Jesus you're the only one I run to, I run to you
