I really love listening to Christian music. I would have to say though, that my favorite Christian artists were from back in the 1980's. There were many talented artists, but one of my favorites was, Benny Hester. He wrote and recorded a song called, "When God Ran". When I first heard this song, I wept. And it does not matter how many times I listen to "When God Ran", I still get emotional and cry. It is based on the return of any prodigal son/daughter. We usually think of how we Run to God when we are facing a hardship or trial in our lives. But to picture God running to us when we give our lives to Him, opening His arms with love and forgiveness, there is no Greater Love we will ever experience.
The chorus to "When God Ran"
(By Benny Hester & John Parenti)
(By Benny Hester & John Parenti)
And, then He ran to me
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 said Son, My Son
Do you know I still love you
Oh... He ran to me...

How true, Crickit, that there is no greater love! I took the time to watch the music video (I love Phillips Craig & Dean) and I think this will be in my head all day today! Thank you! :)
I am really affected by music, also.
Now, I'm off to listen to this song (kleenex in hand).
Had not heard of this great song before! Thanks for sharing.
Inspiring . . .
