Come Home Running

This morning in chapel we sang a beautiful song by Chris Tomlin called “Come Home Running.” This song essentially tells the story of the prodigal son and is an amazing picture of God’s love. As we sang this in chapel I wanted to cram the words inside of the skulls of these young people and force them to understand the truth. However, God works differently than I do (which is good news for these kiddos’ skulls). He takes each of us on our own path and lets us choose Him. I pray that each of these kids chooses Him, chooses Him soon, and doesn't stray. Pray that along with me.
Come Home Running
By: Chris Tomlin

Oh heart of mine, why must you stray?
From one so fair you run away
And one more time you have to pay
The heaviness of needless shame.

Oh heart of mine, come back home
You’ve been too long out on your own
And He’s been there all along
Watching for you down the road.

So come home running
His arms are open wide
His name is Jesus
He understands
He is the answer
You are looking for
So come home running
Just as you are.
