Benny From Here

When God Ran
Music & Lyrics by Benny Hester
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

Chorus:
He ran to me, took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said "My Son's come home again"
Looked in 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'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, when

CHORUS
...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!

Holy One, Righteous Judge, He turned my way.
Now I know He's been waiting for this day, and then

CHORUS
...With forgiveness in His voice I felt His love for me again.

CHORUS
...He said "Son," He said "Son"
"My Son, do you know I still love you?"
Oh, He ran to me, when God ran."
