This song never fails to bring tears to my eyes. The depth of God’s Love, Mercy and Patience are things that I know I will NEVER grasp fully. I know that I see so dimly and I am such a numbskull in so many ways. I stand amazed at a Love so great that would wait for… run toward… forgive… even me. May that Patient, Passionate, Forgiving love envelope and enfold you today… and may you run to meet Him.
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 He’s been waiting for this day
I saw Him run to me…

I love that song, too!
Be blessed today, my sweet northern friend!
What a beautiful song, and a beautiful presentation. Then way you blend your prairie photos and poetry inspires me.
Oh what a beautiful posting this is. So refreshing to read this first thing this morning. All I can say is, "Beautiful" Prairie Chick. You have a way of presenting everything you say to touch the hearts of many. I read your blog every day because you make it so inviting just as God made YOU!
May God bless you abundantly today and bring a smile to your face in every direction that you turn.

That is such a touching song---the very heart of God is presented. And I'm so glad He ran to little me...
The pictures really bring it to life--thank you!

What comforting words. I was not familiar with this song so thank you for sharing the words. I think, like me, that songs really speak to your heart.
Love that song. I always have, but haven't heard it in awhile. Thanks for putting it all together. What a blessing.
That song must surely bring us to our knees.
I love it too, and you've made it come alive in a very beautiful way.
I just love that group! and I love the way you did the timing with the pictures and the lyrics. Thank you for this morning blessing! and may your cheerios not be soggy (or fossilized) today!
How I love that song! I have not heard it in years, but it still speaks to my heart as it did years ago...
At this moment the cry of my heart is that one day my sister will be moved by this song because of what the Lord will have done in her life.... thanks so for sharing!
Blessings!
