WHEN GOD RAN

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?”

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 could 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 Him run

I was so ashamed, all alone and so far away

But now I know 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
