When God Ran - Benny Hester


                    
Almighty God, the great I am
                                      
Immovable rock,omnipotent,powerful awesome Lord
                 
Victorious Warrior, commanding King of Kings
                                   
Mighty 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?"
                         
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

           
And then He ran to me, 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 and brought me to my knees

When God ran, I saw Him run to me.

                     
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

And 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
