When God Ran Chords by Phillips, Craig & Dean

[C#] I feel the presence of the Lord [G#] moving still.
There's [C#] a song that we sang many [F#] years ago.
I don't even know, where did you find this song?
Well, _ this _ [B] song [C#] actually was recorded many years ago by a young man named Benny Hester.
And I begged these guys to do this song for two or three [F#] albums.
[G#] Like knuckleheads, they wouldn't listen to me.
[F#] _ _ But [C#] this song has a tremendous, powerful message.
And I've known people that thought somehow [A#m] they had [C#] walked beyond God's grace.
_ [F#] It's a [C#] wonderful thing to know that He reaches us no matter where we go and [A#m] His love reaches for [F#] us.
His hand is extended.
[A#m] And I want you to listen to the words of this song tonight if you [F#] maybe walked into this
building and [G#] feel a long ways [A#m] from your Heavenly Father.
_ [F#] _ _
_ _ [G#m] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ [C#] Almighty God, _ _ _ [G#] the great I Am, _ _ _ _ _ [C#] immovable [F#] Rock, _ [G#] _ omnipotent, powerful, _ [C#] awesome Lord, _ _ _ _ _ [G#] victorious
warrior, _ _ _ _ _ [F#]
commanding King of [G#] kings, mighty _ conqueror.
And [A#m] the only _ [Fm] time, _ _ _ [A#m]
the only time I ever [G#] saw Him run was _ _ when [C#] He ran to me.
[A#] He took me [A#m] in His arms, [F#] held my head to His chest, [G#] said, My son's come home again, [C#] lifted
my face, [A#m] wiped the tears from my eyes [F#] with forgiveness in His voice.
He [A#m] said, Son, [Fm] do you [C#] know I [F#] still love you?
[G#] _ _ _
He [A#m] caught me by [C#] _ surprise when God [G#] ran. _ _ _
[C#] _ _ I left home, _ _ I knew I'd broken His heart, _ _
_ [F#] and I wondered if things [G#] could ever be [C#] the same.
Then one night, _ I [G#] remembered His love for me, [C#m] and [F#] so down that dusty road [G#] ahead I could
see [A#m] it was the only time, [F#] _
it [A#m] was the only [C#] time I ever saw Him [G#] run.
_ And [C#] then He ran to me.
[A#m] He took me in His arms, [F#] held my head to His chest, and [G#] said, My son's come home [C#] again,
lifted my face, [A#m] wiped the tears from my eyes [F#] with forgiveness in His voice.
I said, [A#m] Son, [G#] do you know [F#] I still love you?
[G#] _ _ _ [A#m] He caught me by [C#] surprise.
Yes, He did.
[A#m] And He brought me to [C#] my knees when God [G#] ran.
_ _ I [C#] saw Him run to [A#m] me.
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ [F#] I was so ashamed, all alone [G#] and so far away.
_ _ _ [F#] But now I know _ He's been [G#] waiting for this _ _ day.
I [C#] saw Him run to me.
[A#m] He took me in His arms, [F#] held my head to His chest, and [G#] said, My son's come home [C#] again,
lifted my face, [A#m] wiped the tears from my eyes [F#] with forgiveness in His voice.
I [G#] felt His love for me [C#] again.
He ran to me.
He took me in His arms, [F#] held my head to His chest, and said, [G#] My son's come home [C#] again,
lifted my face, [A#m] wiped the tears from my eyes [F#] with forgiveness in His voice.
He [A#m] said, Son, _ _ _ _ _ [F#] He called me son.
He called me son.
[C#] He said, Son, do you know I [F#] still love _
_ [G#] _ _ you?
[C#] He ran to _ [A#m] _ me.
_ [F#] I _ [G#] saw Him run to [C#] me.
And then I ran to [A#m] Him when God [F#] ran. _ _
_ [G#] I _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ want you to reach over right now [C#] to [F#] the person who's next to you, and I want you [C#] to
take them by the hand if you could do that.
_ [F#]
Because the three of us are pastors and ministers, _ and we recognize when the Holy Spirit is moving
in an audience.
And [C#] in an audience of this size, we know that there are people here, [F#] that that song was
just for you.
And I don't know if you even know [F#m] the person whose [B] hand you're holding right now, but [C#] I
want you to pray for them like it was your own kin.
I want you to pray for them like it's your prayer.
[G#] That's the only prayer that's going to help them to reach [C#] up and touch the hymn of a merciful Savior.
Would you pray for the [G#] person whose hand you're holding?
And those of you watching on this DVD, _ you may be [C#m] [G#] in a lonely bedroom somewhere, hotel room.
[C#] You may be on a plane watching this on your DVD player.
The Spirit of the Lord is coming to you right now.
It [F#] is not His will that any should perish, but all come to repentance [C#] to be joined [G#] together.
In the name of Jesus. _ _ _ _
