Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Almighty God
The Great I Am
Immoveable 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
[Chorus]
Was when 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?"
It caught me by surprise when God ran
[Verse 2]
The day I left home
I knew I'd broken His heart
I wondered then
If things could ever be the same
But 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
[Chorus]
When 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?"
It caught me by surprise
It brought me to my knees
When God ran
[Chorus]
I saw Him run to me
And then I ran to Him
[Bridge]
Holy One
Righteous Judge
He turned my way
Now I know
He's been waiting
For this day
[Chorus]
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
I felt His love 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"
Lifted 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
[Outro]
When God ran
