You alone are my portion and my cup;
You alone secure this sinner's lot.
Boundary lines drawn in the sand
separate my soul from judgement's hands,
from the stones of man,
the stones of man.
You alone counsel me at night;
You alone lead me by love's light.
Inheritance awaits the daughter who
drinks the cup assigned to her from You,
who finds hope in You,
finds hope in You.
Those who run,
Those who run
will surely come undone.
Those who run,
Those who run
will never see the sun.
You alone made plans before my birth;
You alone brought my life upon this earth.
I keep my eyes set upon the good news
that You'll return to the sky bright blue
to take away the few,
to take away the few.
You alone made known the path of life;
You alone secured for me new rights.
Sacred are the truths that set men free--
Peaceful is my sleep.
You protect my dreams,
protect my dreams.
Those who run,
those who run
will surely come undone.
Those who run,
those who run
will never see the sun.
Those who run,
those who run,
a message waits for you,
for the Son has finally won
rays of victory shine through.
