Thanks so much for all your honesty in your songs they all have such deep meanings and so healing I have shed many tears listening to your songs. You need to be kind to yourself has touched me so much because I have always felt so horrible about myself but now realize Jesus loves me just because I am his daughter. Thanks again for your wonderful songs and encouragement
My favorite love song of all time. When I think of my wife and hear the line “you are a sacrament God has spoken through” I can’t help but tear up. To think that God speaks to me through her love and correction is so humbling. Thank you Andrew Peterson for that reminder.
I discovered your music some months ago and I cannot get enough of your songs. They bring me closer to God and I simply needed them in these difficult and apparently hopeless times. Blessings from Romania! Keep singing (and writing) in this generation!
I may never have the chance to meet and to know Andrew, but I consider myself truly honored and blessed to have had the opportunity to experience the sharing of his heart. Thank you so much brother, for your openness and honesty.
Andy is my favorite artist, and really my favorite musician in any genre because his lyrics speak to my soul as if God had woven some common thread through his children upon which AP's songs work to remind us of our Father's great love. This song is beautiful, like dozens of other songs Andy has written that break my heart and remind me that my rough edges can be continually worn down by reminders of the truth. There is hope in God's great love for us, and how He surrounds us with people who know Him, too. The ways we move through this world together reflect so much of God's goodness and glory. Healthy, Christ-centered marriages are so rare, at least from what I've seen. This song's celebration of those unions and their beauty is a breath of fresh air.
Have loved his music from early on. Had him sign my guitar strap at a concert. He signed right next to Phil Keaggys name with an arrow pointing at Phil saying "I'm not worthy".
Lyrics: You're my oasis The eye of the hurricane One look at your face is All I need to remember my name So I run away home Yes, I run away home to you I was an orphan Caught in a thunderstorm You opened the door and welcomed me Into your arms So I run away home Yes, I run away home to you I believe in the love of the Father and I believe in the power of grace I believe that He brought us together and You are my one safe place You are a fortress I am under siege You're a light in the forest I am a lost boy out in the trees So I run away home Yes, I run away home to you Don't be scared, it's alright It's a weight you were not meant to shoulder But you bear so much light And it's brighter each day we get older And I know that you're broken too But you are a sacrament God has spoken through He's spoken through you I am my beloved's My beloved is mine And the banner that hovers over us Is older than time So I run away home Yes, I run away home I believe in the love of the Father and I believe in the power of grace I believe that He brought us together and You are my one safe place My one safe place My one safe place
This song is fantastic in so many different ways... the tantalizing melody, the poetic use of 'run away home' (instead of run away from home), and the powerful meaning... Andrew Peterson rocks!
We are playing this song at my Wedding! Its beautiful and brought me to tears. It describes my fiance and I. 👫❤ Thank you so much for such a great wedding gift!!
I was really emotional during this, because that house is such a prominent memory of my last year in Nashville... Hope we can meet up sometime when you guys come back to europe.
Andrew Peterson is a musical genius 🙌🙏❤ I Thank God for helping me discover this incredible Christian Artist ❤🙏

This song is absolutely the most incredible song ever written!
Have loved his music from early on. Had him sign my guitar strap at a concert. He signed right next to Phil Keaggys name with an arrow pointing at Phil saying "I'm not worthy".
Every note, every chord, every verse, and every refrain is crafted with great skill and care. Is it any wonder why each song is so wildly amazing?
Maybe the best love song I've ever heard.
Lyrics:
You're my oasis
The eye of the hurricane
One look at your face is
All I need to remember my name
So I run away home
Yes, I run away home to you
I was an orphan
Caught in a thunderstorm
You opened the door and welcomed me
Into your arms
So I run away home
Yes, I run away home to you
I believe in the love of the Father and
I believe in the power of grace
I believe that He brought us together and
You are my one safe place
You are a fortress
I am under siege
You're a light in the forest
I am a lost boy out in the trees
So I run away home
Yes, I run away home to you
Don't be scared, it's alright
It's a weight you were not meant to shoulder
But you bear so much light
And it's brighter each day we get older
And I know that you're broken too
But you are a sacrament God has spoken through
He's spoken through you
I am my beloved's
My beloved is mine
And the banner that hovers over us
Is older than time
So I run away home
Yes, I run away home
I believe in the love of the Father and
I believe in the power of grace
I believe that He brought us together and
You are my one safe place
My one safe place
My one safe place
may we rely on you Lord for your yolk is light and our flesh so weak

What a beautiful song! When are you coming back to London?
Who did you write this song to Andy?
Sorry I’m not Andrew, just a fan. I think it’s almost certainly written to his wife Jamie.
Many people are into themselves, not Andrew. Thanks
first...
