Run the Path (high-cadence endurance — 4 counts to a line, chorus every mile) Intro / first miles Lamp for my feet. Word in my chest. I will not wander. I will not rest till the road is done. Chorus Run the path. Keep the word. Take the yoke. Bless the Lord. Heart on fire. Feet on stone. Love the Lord. Run it home. Verse — Psalm 32 / 119 I held it in— my bones went dry. I said the sin. You passed it by. Not a mule. Teach my mind. Open my eyes. Leave stone behind. Your law, my song. Your way, my pace. Wide heart, long road. Steady grace. Chorus Run the path. Keep the word. Take the yoke. Bless the Lord. Verse — Matthew 5–7 Poor in spirit. Still I climb. Hunger for right. Mile by mile. Not just the hand— clean the heart. Build on rock when the rains start. Seek the kingdom. First, not last. Do these words. Hold the fast. Verse — Matthew 11 Worn-out soul, come to Me. Easy yoke, learn and breathe. Gentle King. Lowly heart. Light the load. Run. Restart. Verse — Matthew 22 All my heart. All my mind. All my soul. Leave none behind. Love my God. Love next door. Law and prophets hang on more than a tired mouth. Love, then run. Bridge — Deborah Awake, awake— rise and sing. Lord went out before the kings. Stars fought heaven. Highways cleared. Village voices. God is here. Final chorus (repeat till the wall breaks) Run the path. Keep the word. Take the yoke. Bless the Lord. Covered sin. Open eyes. Rock beneath. I will rise. Christ my rest. Christ my pace. Christ the Word I run to praise. Cadence note: Hit the chorus on the out-breath every 8–16 steps. Keep verses almost spoken. Let “Run the path / Keep the word” be the thing you can still say when thinking stops.
