As the choirs sing, pass me not, oh gentle savior
Something stabbed me like a sword
He was calling, walk with me
But I couldn't walk, I had to run to meet my Lord

I couldn't walk, I had to run to meet my Lord
He's been patiently waiting at my door
Jesus wanted me free from sin
The Devil in me wouldn't let him in
But I finally couldn't walk, I had to run to meet my Lord

As the choirs sing, softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling
I was crying tears of joy
Then my savior smiled on me
Now my heart is singing singing singing for my Lord

I couldn't walk, I had to run to meet my Lord
He's been patiently waiting at my door
Jesus wanted me free from sin
The Devil in me wouldn't let him in
But I finally couldn't walk, I had to run to meet my Lord

Praise God, I couldn't walk, I had to run to meet my Lord
