Song Lyrics

"When God Ran"

by Benny Hester
Album: Personal Best

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 run 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'"
It 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 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'"
It caught me by surprise, it 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 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 again,
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.
