“So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him. His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son.’
“But his father said to the servants, ‘Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.’ So the party began."
"When God Ran" by Shaded Red:
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
Is when He ran to me, took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said "my son's come home again"
Looked at my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said "son, do you know I still love you"
It caught me by surprise, brought me to my knees
When God ran
The day I left home, I knew I had broken His heart
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
I saw Him run to me
It caught me by surprise
Brought me to my knees
When God ran
