Text

Go run and hide your face.
Go run and hide you face.
Go run to the rock and hide your face,
‘Cause I ain’t no stranger now.
I ain’t no stranger now.
Oh I ain’t no stranger now.

And if I could, I surely would
Stand on that rock where Moses stood.
Lord, I ain’t no stranger now.
I ain’t no stranger now.

I pray in secret to the Father and the Son,
‘Cause I ain’t no stranger now.
Run to the rock and hide your face.
Go pray in secret to the Father and the Son.
Lord, I ain’t no sinner now,
Lord, I ain’t no sinner now,
Lord I ain’t no sinner now.
