And the only time,
Em D C/D
the only time I ever saw Him run
G Em
Was when He ran to me,
C
Took me in His arms, held my head to His chest
D
And said "My son's come home again".
G Em
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
C
With forgiveness in His voice
Am
He said "Son, do you know I still love you?"
Em C D
It caught me by surprise when God ran
G
The day I left Home,
D/G
I knew I'd broken His heart
A
I wondered if
D
Things could ever be the same,
G
Then one night,
D/G
I remembered His love for me
C D
And down that dusty road, ahead I could see
Em C
It was the only time,
Em D
the only time I ever saw Him run
