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 He ran to me
He 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?”
He caught me by surprise
When God ran

The day I left home
I knew I’d broken His heart
And I wondered then
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
It was the only time I ever saw Him run

And then He ran to me
He 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?”
He caught me by surprise
And He brought me to my knees
When God ran

I saw Him run to me

I was so ashamed, all alone
And so far away
But now I know
That 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
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
He 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 called me Son
He said “Son, do you know I still love You?”

He ran to me
And then I ran to Him
When God ran
