Your love came runnin
I walked close with You in my youth
Read Your Word day and Night
Loved You oh so much
You taught me to go to Your Word
Oh how I look back and wish I could change some things
then it happened
Got mixed up in the world in my early 20s
Awoke love before it was time, like the Word warned me in Ecclesiastes
I felt condemned and ran from You Lord
Like Adam and Eve did that day
I went a runnin, runnin away from You
The time I should have ran to You Father
I couldn’t because I promised I would wait
My flesh got the best of me that day
I was afraid You were disappointed in me
How could You love me when I broke my promise Lord?
How could you trust me when I broke my promise?
I felt like a failure, that me breaking my promise was the end all, be all for our relationship
Oh I neglected Your Word in 1 John 1:9
I should have ran to You that day
But the enemy bashed me in my mind
And said “oh you failed, God doesn’t love you anymore, might as well get over it and pack it up, God won’t lead a sinful failure, the word won’t work anymore, since you sinned.”
Oh what lie that was,
I was broken inside
I was disappointed in myself
Went from serving You to serving the enemy
All the while You had your arms wide, wide open beckoning for me to come runnin home
I went on thinking You didn’t love me the same
I read Your scripture, hoping I could maybe earn it back
What I lacked was understanding
Nothing I could do would make You love me anymore than You already did
Jesus’ sacrifice was more than enough
Jesus’ sacrifice was more than enough
Then it came to pass
Your love came runnin, runnin after me!
Your spirit came rushing in
And You said
“My son, I have always loved You, even in your sins. I died for you, confess them and renounce them and follow Me. I love you, I love you My beloved”
To be wholly back in You, My God, My comfort
It’s like I’ve never left!
Your love came runnin after me
I will praise You all the days
For Your love never fails
Your love came runnin
