Oh yeah (came on runnin')
Oh (came a-runnin')
Oh (came a-runnin' to me, came a-runnin')
Almighty God
The great I AM
Immovable Rock
Omnipotent, powerful, awesome Lord
Victorious Warrior (victorious, victorious, victorious)
Commanding King of kings
Mighty Conqueror, and the only time
The only time I ever saw Him run, yeah was
Chorus 1:
When He ran to me (continuous echo: came a-runnin' to me, came a-runnin' 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?" (do you know I love you)
It caught me by surprise when God ran
The day I left home (the day I said goodbye)
I knew I'd broken His heart
I wondered then if things could ever be the same
But one night (late 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
Chorus 2:
When He ran to me (continuous echo: came a-runnin' to me, came a-runnin' 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 (from my eyes)
With forgiveness in His voice He said, "Son, do you know I still love you?" (do you know I love you)
It caught me by surprise (by surprise, by surprise)
It brought me to my knees (to my knees, to my knees)
When God ran
Whoa, I saw Him run to me (came a-runnin' to me, ran to me)
And then I ran to Him (I ran to meet Him)
Holy One, righteous Judge
He turned my way
Now I know He's been waiting for this day
Chorus 3:
And then He ran to me (continuous echo: came a-runnin' to me, came a-runnin' to me)
Took me in His arms, held my head to His chest
Said, "My son's come home again!"
Lifted me up, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice I felt His love for me again (with forgiveness)
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 away with forgiveness
He said, "son, do you know I still love you?" (you know I love you)
Oh, He ran to me (came a-runnin', etc.)
When God ran
Oh, oh yeah
