[Verse 1]
Just like that long lost son
I had wandered far away
The pain of all I’d done
Held me captive in my shame
My weary heart cried out
There must be something more
Then I thought about my Father
And the life I had before
And though I felt so undeserving
Just to ask Him for such mercy…
[Chorus]
He came runnin’
When He saw me at the end of the road
Yeah He came runnin’
With a kind of love that only He could show
Compassion in His eyes, Arms open wide
Calling out to me, “Child, welcome home”
He came runnin’
He came runnin’
[VERSE 2]
Your journey may be marked
With scars from your mistakes
But you haven’t gone too far
From God’s redeeming grace
There’s time to turn around
And leave regrets behind
Your past will be forgotten
By a God who’s good and kind
What a witness to His glory
When you tell the world this story
[Chorus]
