V.2
The day I left home, I knew I’d 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, it’s the only time,
the only time I ever saw Him run

(Repeat Chorus)
Bm F#m A
*He caught me by surprise,
Em Bm A
He brought me to my knees

I saw Him run to me

I saw Him run to me

With forgiveness in His voice, he said, “Son, do you know I still love you.”
Bm F#m A
He caught me by surprise,
Bm F#m A
He caught me by surprise,
Em Bm A
He brought me to my knees

(Repeat Intro)
