When God Ran Lyrics
Almighty God, The Great I Am,
Immovable Rock, Omnipotent, Powerful,
Awesome Lord.
Victorious Warrior, Commanding King of Kings,
Might Conqueror and the only time,
The only time I ever saw him run,
Was when...
Chorus:
He ran to me,
He took me in His arms,
Held my head to His chest,
Said, "My son's come home again."
Lifted my face,
Wiped the tears from my eyes,
With forgiveness in His voice He said
"Son, do you know I still love You?"
He caught me by surprise, When God ran...
The day I left home,
I knew I'd broken His heart.
And I wondered then, if things would ever be the same.
Then one night,
I remembered His love for me.
And down that dusty road, ahead I could see,
It was the only time,
It was the only time I ever saw his run.
And then...
Repeat Chorus
He caught me by surprise.
And He brought me to His knees.
When God ran... I saw Him run to me.
Bridge:
I was so afraid, all alone, and so far away.
But now I know, that he's been waiting for this day...
I saw Him run to me,
He took me in His arms,
Held my head to His chest,
Said, "My son's come home again."
Lifted my face,
Wiped the tears from my eyes,
With forgiveness in His voice
I felt His love for me again.
He ran to me,
He took me in His arms,
Held my head to his chest,
Said, "My son's come home again."
Lifted my face,
Wiped the tears from my eyes,
With forgiveness in His voice
He said, "Son..."
He called me Son.
He said, "Son, do you know I still love You?"
He ran to me
And then I ran to Him
When God ran
Immovable Rock, Omnipotent, Powerful,
Awesome Lord.
Victorious Warrior, Commanding King of Kings,
Might Conqueror and the only time,
The only time I ever saw him run,
Was when...
He ran to me,
He took me in His arms,
Held my head to His chest,
Said, "My son's come home again."
Lifted my face,
Wiped the tears from my eyes,
With forgiveness in His voice He said
"Son, do you know I still love You?"
I knew I'd broken His heart.
And I wondered then, if things would ever be the same.
Then one night,
I remembered His love for me.
And down that dusty road, ahead I could see,
It was the only time,
It was the only time I ever saw his run.
And then...
And He brought me to His knees.
When God ran... I saw Him run to me.
I was so afraid, all alone, and so far away.
But now I know, that he's been waiting for this day...
He took me in His arms,
Held my head to His chest,
Said, "My son's come home again."
Lifted my face,
Wiped the tears from my eyes,
With forgiveness in His voice
I felt His love for me again.
He ran to me,
He took me in His arms,
Held my head to his chest,
Said, "My son's come home again."
Lifted my face,
Wiped the tears from my eyes,
With forgiveness in His voice
He said, "Son..."
He called me Son.
He said, "Son, do you know I still love You?"
He ran to me
And then I ran to Him
When God ran

This is such a powerful song. I listen to it all the time when I'm feeling unworthy of God. It reminds me that He's always there. :)
A Benny Hester song back about 1986.
This song makes me cry when I hear it... it's just such a great and powerful song... much like the God I serve.
I love this song! Prodigal son story about us. genius
