When God Ran!

WHEN GOD RAN

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

CHORUS:
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 as He brought me to my knees
When God ran – I saw Him run to me

BRIDGE:
I was so ashamed, 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, 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

Its amazing how what we pray for would be answered! Look at my previous entry on LOVE on Valentine's. I heard this song a few times from my brother's mobile and liked the tune but never gave any attention to its lyrics but yesterday as i sat down and quietly listen to it repeatedly from Jia Xian's laptop, it just overwhelm me that this is what God is saying to me. I don't know since when but even though i may be praying and reading the Bible every day, I seem to have gone to a distant land by myself seeking my own ways. And it wasn't until i made a decision, seeing what a mess I'm in, that it occurred to me that His Running to me! His waiting for my return into His embrace. He calls me Son. He still love me! HE RAN TO ME!

Its a new day and I'm going to start things afresh with God by my side! I'll try to get the version i heard from 'Imeem' so in the mean while if you want it you can search for it yourself!

Thank you Father Lord for calling me Son, forgiving me and loving me still! Its amazing to hear it from You, from the depth of Your heart as You seek each one of your children. Teach me Your ways and make me walk beside You for You are my Shepard and there is none that i would follow other then You! Teach me to be satisfied being Your sheep, getting only Your attention, acknowledgment, approval when i do anything. My Lord, make me, lead me, guide me, prepare me, anoint me for You are ever with me! Thank you for Running to me!
