Benny Hester › Lyrics › When God Ran

Almighty God, the great I am
Immovable rock, omnipotent, powerful
Awesome Lord, victorious warrior
Commanding king of kings, mighty conquerer

And the only time
The only time I ever saw Him run
Was when

He ran to me, took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said, "My son's come home again"
Looked in 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
I wondered 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's the only time, the only time I ever saw Him run

When He ran to me, took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said "My son's come home again"
Looked in 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
He brought me to my knees
When God ran

I saw Him run to me
And then I ran to Him

Holy One, Righteous Judge
Who turned my way
Now, I know, You've been waiting
For this day

And when He ran to me, took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said, "My son's come home again"
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice
I thought He's left for me again

He ran to me, took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said "My son's come home again"
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice

He said, "Son”
He said, "Son”
“My son, do you know I still love you?"

Oh, He ran to me
When God ran
