Song Lyrics

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

Was when He ran to me
He took me in His arms held my head to his chest
And said my child's come home again
Lifted my face wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice
He said child, do you know I still love you
It caught me by surprise when God ran

The day I left home I know I'd broken His heart
And 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 was 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
And said my child's come home again
Lifted my face wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice
He said child, do you know I still love you
It caught me by surprise and then it brought me to my knees when God ran
I saw Him run to me

I was so ashamed, I was 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 child'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 and He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest and said my child's come home again
Lifted my face wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice he said child
He called me child oh yes he did
He said child do you know I still love you
I saw Him run to me and then I ran to Him
When God ran
