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,
Took me in his arms
Lifted 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 broke his heart.
I wondered then if things could ever be the same.
But 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.
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?”
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.
The Holy One,
The Righteous Judge,
He turned my way.
Now I know, He’s been waiting for this day.
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.
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!”
He said, “Son!”
“My son, do you know I still love you?”
Oh he ran to me.
When God ran.

While he was still a long way off, his father caught sight of him, and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him and kissed him. ~Luke 15: 20.
