So I finally settled on a scripture passage from Song of Solomon!

Song 2:8 Listen! My beloved!
Look! Here he comes,
leaping across the mountains,
bounding over the hills.

Song 2:9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.
Look! There he stands behind our wall,
gazing through the windows,
peering through the lattice.
Song 2:10 My beloved spoke and said to me,
“Arise, my darling,
my beautiful one, come with me.
Song 2:11 See! The winter is past;
the rains are over and gone.
Song 2:12 Flowers appear on the earth;
the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
is heard in our land.
Song 2:13 The fig tree forms its early fruit;
the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.
Arise, come, my darling;
my beautiful one, come with me.”

Brad Arnold, the lead singer and writer of the song said this about the song in an interview:

“It’s Not My Time” is a song about being
resilient. It’s a song about going against the
grain and going against the world when the
world’s trying to push you down, or take you
out. It’s about never giving up and not letting
it get you down and just going through it.

I looked up the lyrics so I could understand what was being said.
Watching the video, trying to prevent something awful from happening.
What we believe is being sung, The runner can make a difference in a life as he runs to change the future,
You can do more with God with you. Even one person can make a difference.
The runner can be us too.
