Lee Park Worship continues to bridge the gap between modern worship and traditional church music with their new single, Why Wouldn’t I Run. This unique blend of sound and message speaks directly to the heart of worshippers, combining fresh, modern tones with the deep roots of the faith.

The song came together through an inspiring collaboration between Shane Dunlap and two of southern gospel’s finest songwriters, Sue Smith and Nathan Woodard. Shane shared how the song came to life in a moment of inspiration during a writing session. “Sue Smith is phenomenal. She’s one of my dearest friends. And then Nathan Woodard is just, he’s just great too. So we were sitting in the writing room and we were trying to come up with some kind of an idea. But we had something that we were going with. And then Sue mentioned, she’s like, I look at it like, you know, why don’t we just run to him? And I looked at Nathan and he looked at me. And we immediately, I mean, it clicked. We’re like, we’re writing that. Why wouldn’t I run. And so we wrote it and we had the song in an hour and a half. It was pretty cool. It was really magical and we sang it the next week at church.”

Why Wouldn’t I Run captures the heart of turning to God, expressing the simplicity and urgency of running to Him. With its powerful message and captivating melody, it’s already making an impact in worship settings.
