Verso 1

Oh child listen closely
To what my dad told me
Before I went out in the world
He said Son I still love you
If senses come back to you
You can walk back through the door
Well I tasted and saw
It was not what I thought
It would’ve been better to stay
Now that I am older
From the burdens I’ve shouldered
I hope that you hear what I say

Coro 1

When you run
Run to the Father
Take my word
It won’t lead you astray

Coro 2

Oh my son
Make Wisdom your Lover
So when you run
You don't make my mistakes

Verso 2

I've learned if you falter
You still couldn’t alter
His will and the good in His plan
I’ve learned that repentance
Will lead to forgiveness
And make you a better man
So with all of your problems
The Savior will solve them
Just like He dealt with your sin
Oh and I’ve learned that Jesus
He loves you to pieces
His peace will make you whole again

Coro 1

When you run
Run to the Father
Take my word
It won’t lead you astray

Coro 2

Oh my son
Make Wisdom your Lover
So when you run
You don't make my mistakes

Coro 1

When you run
Run to the Father
Take my word
It won’t lead you astray

Coro 2

Oh my son
Make Wisdom your Lover
So when you run
You don't make my mistakes
