A powerful retelling of Lazarus’s resurrection takes center stage in “Running,” the latest single from Anthem Edition. Released on October 25, the song marks the third preview of their upcoming EP, Promises Kept.

The track features bass vocalist Andrew Utech leading a dynamic narrative of one of Christianity’s most dramatic moments. Under Roger Talley’s production, the song opens with an energetic percussion and guitar groove before expanding into a full quartet arrangement.

Built around a call-and-response structure, the chorus captures the jubilant moment of Lazarus emerging from the tomb: “He went running like a new man out of that grave / He went shouting like a soul who’s just been saved.” The lyrics then draw a parallel between Lazarus’s physical resurrection and spiritual rebirth, shifting to a first-person perspective: “I went running like Lazarus out of that grave.”

Lead singer Tim Rackley explains the song’s significance: “As Lazarus comes running out of the grave, the song delivers a compelling message of resurrection and freedom, reminding us that through Christ, we too can run from death to life.”

The single follows the group’s previous release “Graveyard,” which is currently climbing the Southern Gospel charts. “Running” maintains the quartet’s focus on resurrection themes while showcasing their trademark harmonies and contemporary gospel arrangements.
