[Chorus: Sister Ernia Mae Cunningham & T.C.I. Sacred Singers]
You better run, run, run
Oh, you better run, run, run
Oh, you better run to the city of refuge
You better run
[Verse 1: Sister Ernia Mae Cunningham]
Well a-God called Jonah on the Ninevah land
He didn't obey my Lord's command
The wind blew the ship from shore to shore
The whale swallowed Jonah, and he was no more
[Chorus: Sister Ernia Mae Cunningham & T.C.I. Sacred Singers]
[?] he had to run, run, run
Oh, he had to run, run, run
Oh, he had to run to the city of refuge
He had to run
[Verse 2: Sister Ernia Mae Cunningham]
Yes, [?] God told you to run
He told you to run that day when He called your name
Yes, and He told Moses to run that day
Yes, God called Moses on the mountaintop
And He stamped His laws on Moses' heart
And He just put His commandments in his mind
And He said to Moses "I don't want you to leave my lambs behind"
[Chorus: Sister Ernia Mae Cunningham & T.C.I. Sacred Singers]
But I want you to run, run, run
Yes, I want you to run, run, run, yes
I want you to run to the city of refuge
I want you to run
[Spoken: Ernia Mae Cunningham]
Brother [?], will you please lead us in a word of prayer?
[Prayer: Unknown Speaker]
Dear heavenly Father, once more and again [?] have bowed down before Thee [?] humble thanks for the many blessings Thou have bestowed upon us. Heavenly Father, we thank Thee this morning [?] that the blood is still running warm in our veins. And we thank You, oh heavenly Father, for bringing us from our early youth unto the present hour. Oh dear heavenly Father, we ask You to hold us in the hollow of Thy hand. [?] oh Lord, if Thou will hold out a hand [?]. Oh Lord, we pray that Thou would go with our fathers and mothers in a far distant land, and on a brighter weekend that Thou will give them a comforting. Oh, dear heavenly Father, we pray that [?] and when life's battle is ended, we pray Thou will give us a home in heaven where we can praise Thee forever. Amen.
[Chorus: Sister Ernia Mae Cunningham & T.C.I. Sacred Singers]
Well you better run, run, run
You better run, run, run
You better run to the city of refuge
You better run
[Verse 2: Sister Ernia Mae Cunningham]
Well God called Jonah on the mountaintop
He stamped His name in Moses' heart
He put His commandments in his mind
And said to Moses "Don't you leave my lambs behind"
[Chorus: Sister Ernia Mae Cunningham & T.C.I. Sacred Singers]
But I want you to run, run, run
Oh, I want you to run, run, run
Yes, I want you to run to the city of refuge
You better run
