'Why Wouldn't I Run?' by Lee Park Worship: An Invitation You Can't Ignore


Let me dive right into it: 'Why Wouldn't I Run?' by Lee Park Worship isn't your ordinary type of praise song. It's more like a heart-to-heart chat with a good friend over coffee, only this friend is called 'Faith' and he is challenging you to step up. We've all been there, trying to nail life on our own, pretending we've got it all figured out. But deep down, we know that when we lean into His goodness, that feeling of being alone fades away. Every... single... time!

Lee Park Worship - Why Wouldn’t I Run?Here's the kicker: Jesus already laid down the groundwork. He’s already did all of the heavy lifting. The burning question that this song is asking you is: 'Why wouldn't you run to Him?' You already have a picture of the peace, rest, and the unconditional love that is waiting for you. So, what's stopping you?

Lee Park Worship captures this divine lesson so beautifully. It's like they're whispering in your ear, reminding you of this truth that we so often forget as we go through life's chaos. This song isn't just for your playlist; it's especially for those moments when you're on the brink, teetering between faith and despair. It’s a reminder of His open arms and the amazing grace that is awaiting us.

So, why wouldn't you give it a listen? Let it play in the background of your day, your life. Let it nudge you gently towards Him. Because, in the end, when His love is calling out to you so clearly, running seems to be the only logical response, doesn't it?

(Related scripture: Hebrews 4:16; Jeremiah 31:3; John 14:27)

“I Believe” by Reagan Nichole: A Ten-Year-Old’s Bold Declaration of Faith

What if darkness can’t stay where Jesus lives? Eleven-year-old Reagan Nichole from Texas wrote “I Believe” right after she turned ten. Most of us wait decades before saying what we believe out loud. She sings it! Her opening lines name a fear many people quietly carry with them: “You think that you’ve gone way too far, that there’s no way to turn back.” Have you ever felt that? Reagan reminds us of a promise. Jesus “will wash you clean.” No résumé required. No catching up. She calls the song her personal declaration that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Her faith isn’t a Sunday event. It lives in everyday life and turns dark to light. She sings: “I know He makes the darkness flee.” Jesus said the same thing long before any songwriter did. In John 8:12 He tells us, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Notice the verb, “…follow …” . His light isn’t something you earn. You walk in it, one step at a time, right in t...

"Digging Ditches" Brandon Drit: Preparing for Water You Can’t See

Obedience comes first. The rain comes later. Brandon Drit knows what dry seasons can feel like. His song, “Digging Ditches”, opens on a desert road, with strength fading and a question that probably sounds a lot like yours: “How much longer will this last?” The message of the song grew out of 2 Kings 3:16, and it also marks his first professionally edited and mastered release, a ditch of its own, dug in faith. Picture the following scene. Three armies are stranded in the wilderness with nothing to drink. Then God sends Elisha with a strange order: dig trenches in the dry valley. The promise that follows sounds impossible: “You shall not see wind or rain, but that streambed shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink” (2 Kings 3:17). Digging in a drought will seem foolish to some. Who on earth shovels dirt for rain that hasn’t shown up? Only the people who trust the One who promised it. We’ve seen similar promises happen before (e.g., Noah), and in 2 Kings 3 we see it happenin...

"My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)" by Avery Stafford: One Heart at Peace Can Change the Room

Peace begins in a willing heart. When did you last open your own time capsule? Avery Stafford found a time capsule somewhere in his mind and opens it in his song “My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)”. His time capsule contained a Folgers can filled with buttons and thread, a crystal globe, a denim patch, and the scent of Avon cologne. Seemingly ordinary treasures, but each one carries a Christmas that he’s never stopped loving. Avery blends gospel warmth with soulful pop to speak to the child in all of us, the child who still believes that Love leads the way. In the bridge, he wishes that child well, “forever dancing under the starlight with stories yet to tell.” The song also reminds us that memories alone cannot fix a restless / broken world, and he knows it: “We long for happily ever afters, but none of us really knows.” So where does peace begin? Not in a headline, a treaty, the outcome of the midterms, or a December calendar. Paul gives us an answer in Colossians 3:15: “And...
