This song by Mike used to be much longer. This version we shortened up for a later concert so we could fit more material in the show! The extra lyrics for the original long version are included below in brackets.

lyrics

“DON’T RUN AWAY”
by Mike McBride
Copyright 2011, RN SR 679-889

[Section in brackets{} is in the long version]

Life is so much sadder than it seems
We wish that we could live in all those empty dreams
But when we turn and look into the past
We realize that life is passing by too fast

And now we wish that we could change it all
But you’re not big enough and I know I’m too small
If there is any way that we’ll pull through
It’s got to be from something that God’s love will do

And I do love you (I do love you), I do love you

Now we know the future holds the future hold the key
Tomorrow’s got to be the day to set us free
And when you think that nothing’s gonna change
Remember that your life has never been arranged

And I do love you (I do love you), I do love you

So, don’t run and hide, hold on to your pride
Love has got to change your life, don’t run away
Hang on and glide, keep up with the stride
Lovehas got to change our lives so won’t you stay

{If you ever think that no one cares
Just remember that love is truth and dares
To care enough to know that you will see
That Christ is all the love you need to set you free

And I do love you (I do love you), I do love you

So, don’t run and hide, hold on to your pride
Love has got to change your life, don’t run away
Hang on and glide, keep up with the stride
Love has got to change our lives so won’t you stay}

(And I do love you) don’t run away
(I do love you) oh, won’t you stay
(I do love you) don’t run away
I do love you
