When God Ran
by Benny Hester

Almighty God, 
       D/G
The Great I Am
C
Immovable Rock,
  D
Omnipotent, powerful

Awesome Lord,
D/G
Victorious Warrior

Mighty Conqueror 

         Em           C
And the only time,
Em                        D       C/D
the only time I ever saw Him run

G                     Em
Was when He ran to me,
                     C
Took me in His arms, held my head to His chest
D
And said "My son's come home again".
G                            Em
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
C
With forgiveness in His voice
Am
He said "Son, do you know I still love you?" 
Em            C            D
It caught me by surprise when God ran

G
The day I left Home,
         D/G
I knew I'd broken His heart
A
I wondered if
         D
Things could ever be the same, 

G
Then one night,
    D/G
I remembered His love for me
C                   D
And down that dusty road, ahead I could see
Em     C
It was the only time,
Em              D
the only time I ever saw Him run

G           Em
Was when He ran to me,
                     C
Took me in His arms, held my head to His chest
D
And said "My son's come home again".
G                             Em
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
C
With forgiveness in His voice
Am
He said "Son, do you know I still love you?"
Em            C             Em
It caught me by surprise, it brought me to my knees
D
When God ran

I saw Him run to me

And then I ran to Him

G              D/G
Holy God, Righteous One
C
Who turned my way
     D
He's been waiting for this day

G                     Em
And then He ran to me,
                     C
Took me in His arms, held my head to His chest
D
And said "My son's come home again".
G                             Em
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
C
With forgiveness in His voice
D
I felt His love for me again

He ran to me,
Em                   C
Took me in His arms, held my head to His chest
D
And said "My son's come home again".
G                            Em
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes

With forgiveness in His voice

He said Son, He said Son, My Son!
               C/D
Do you know I still love you

When God ran
