You can have my yes, with no exception
I’m laying down my right, to second guessing
You can have my yes
I’m giving You my fear, of never knowing
Whatever’s coming next, I know You’ve got me
You can have my yes
You’re the lamp, You’re the light
You’re the cloud that guides me
You’re the way, You’re the truth
You’re the life inside me
You conquered my fears
So I leave it all behind
I’m running to the light
Running to the light
I’m giving You my dreams and my ambitions
Your presence is my prize and my provision
I’ll answer when You ask
Oh, who could come against, if You are for me?
‘Cause even in the fire, I know You’ve got me
I’m giving You my yes again
You’re the lamp, You’re the light
You’re the cloud that guides me
You’re the way, You’re the truth
You’re the life inside me
You conquered my fears
So I leave it all behind
I’m running to the light
Running to the light
Oh, wherever You are
Wherever You wanna go
I’ll follow You
Wherever You are
Wherever You wanna go
I’ll follow You
Oh, wherever You are
Wherever You wanna go
I’ll follow You
I’ll follow You
Oh, wherever You are
Wherever You wanna go
I’ll follow You
Wherever You are
Wherever You wanna go
I’ll follow You
Oh, wherever You are
Wherever You wanna go
I’ll follow You
I’ll follow You
You’re the lamp, You’re the light
You’re the cloud that guides me
You’re the way, You’re the truth
You’re the life inside me
You conquered my fears
So I leave it all behind
I’m running to the light
Oh, I’m running
Running to the light
Light
Running to the light
Surrender and Trust: The Heartbeat of “Running To The Light”
Brandon Lake’s “Running To The Light” is a powerful anthem of wholehearted surrender and unwavering trust. The lyrics paint a picture of letting go of personal fears, ambitions, and doubts, and choosing instead to follow divine guidance with a resounding “yes.” The repeated lines about giving up fears and ambitions emphasize the freedom that comes from trusting in something greater. The metaphor of light, lamp, and cloud evokes both biblical imagery and a deeply personal journey, where guidance and truth illuminate the path ahead. Each chorus is a declaration—leaving all behind to chase after the light, which represents hope, clarity, and purpose.

This section amplifies the call to pursue light, no matter where it leads, trusting that every step is guided and secure. “Running To The Light” ultimately offers listeners an inspiring message of faith, courage, and surrender.
