Saw this song in Youtube while listening to “In Christ Alone”.
This is the song that I had been looking for years!
I first listened to this song many years ago in a Sunday Service.
The song brought tears to my eyes.
That time, I allowed the disappointments in my life to distance my heart from God.
And this song reminded me how much God loves me.
Disregard of His dignity and majesty, Father God run to me.
This song is base on a Bible story told by Lord Jesus:
The Parable of the Lost Son in Luke 15
Enjoy it in Youtube:
- Phillips, Craig & Dean - When God Ran – Live
- When God Ran reflective video
I just know that it is first recorded by Benny Hester.
The lyrics is found in christianlyricsonline.com
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
CHORUS:
Was when He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said,
“Son do you know I still love you?”
He caught me by surprise when God ran
The day I left home I knew I’d broken His heart
And 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
It was the only time – it was the only time I ever saw Him run
And then He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said,
“Son do you know I still love you?”
He caught me by surprise as He brought me to my knees
When God ran – I saw Him run to me
BRIDGE:
I was so ashamed, all alone and so far away
But now I know He’s been waiting for this day
I saw Him run to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice I felt His love for me again
He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said, “Son”, He called me Son
He said, “Son do you know I still love you?”
He ran to me and then I ran to Him
When God ran

Song: Trust His Heart
This is a song that God minister to me years ago in my low point of my life.
And it still encourage me that when I don’t see His plan and can’t trace His hand, I can trust His heart.
Dual singing in Trust His Heart. This is my favorite method of singing the song.
Group singing in TRUST HIS HEART by RAY BOLTZ with lyrics
The lyrics written by: Babbie Mason and Eddie Carswell
All things work for our good
Though sometimes we can’t see how they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth
Our Father knows what’s best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just can’t see Him
Remember, you’re never alone
Reff:
God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don’t understand
When you don’t see His plan
When you can’t trace His hand
Trust His heart
He sees the master plan
He holds the future in His hands
So don’t live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him
We see the present clearly
He sees the first and the last
And like a tapestry
He’s weaving you and me
To someday we’re just like Him
Bridge:
He alone is Faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you
And it still encourage me that when I don’t see His plan and can’t trace His hand, I can trust His heart.

For Christ's love compels us
Actually, I am just looking for the music for the song “If You Say Go” from Youtube.
Then I found the song which show part of the movie of “End of the spear”.
“End of the spear” is base on a true story of 5 missionaries who was killed while attempting to evangelize to a tribal people in the mission field.
I heard of this story on my first year as Christian.
Their story inspires many in their walk with Christ, including me.
It is interesting to use Youtube to link up all the related topics.
Holy Ambition: Jim Elliot
Jim Elliot is one of the 5. He made this famous quotation “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”
The life that he sacrificed brought the breakthrough in a tribal people that is near to extinction as their killed one another.
The trailer of the movie is attracting for us to watch the movie.
Suppose it is a free online movie.

But I have not figure out how to watch it.
In Youtube, it explains briefly the story of the 5 missionaries.
Beyond The Gates of Splendor - Part 1
Beyond The Gates of Splendor - Part 2
Recently, God keeps remind me to die to my self. Including using Youtube.
And a verse keep ringing in my mind. That is “For Christ's love compels us”. Just did a search for the particular verse.
It is in 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 (New International Version)
14 For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
Got reminded again. In our church discipleship training, we are told that when God keeps repeating something in the Bible within a context, it means as emphasis.
God, I heard You.

Song: In Christ Alone
Everyday is a day of thanksgiving to my Triune God (Father God, Lord Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit).
Yesterday, 23 May 09, Saturday, Holy Spirit is at work again. At the back of my mind is singing a worship song. I know the music but not quite sure of the lyrics. Today on Sunday Service, the song was sang at the end of the service. Then I realise this is the song that God put in my heart.
My good friend who sit next to me told me I can find the song by typing “lyric In Christ Alone Hymn” in Google.
Praise the Lord. I found the lyrics in a blog, David Jordan’s Mind
And it is sang in Youtube:
- In Christ Alone Worship Video with Lyrics
- In Christ Alone by Newsboys
The lyrics:
In Christ Alone
By Stuart Townend and Keith Getty
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save.
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life’s first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.

The best Insurance plan
Just came back from my church Women breakthrough weekend.
There are many take home lessons.
I am truly grateful to my Lord Jesus Christ for all the good things that happened in the retreat.
Pastor Ann Chan taught us that the best insurance plan is written in the Bible.
Isaiah 46:4
Even to your old age and gray hairs
I (God) am he, I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
