Come Home Running by Chris Tomlin from Not To Us

Chris Tomlin... one of my favorite Praise and Worship leaders and a great songwriter. He is one of person that I really look up to when it comes to serving the Lord. I just love his passion and his fervor for singing for the Lord and leading people to see Him every time he sings. To learn more about Chris Tomlin, visit his website here.

The song that I'm writing about today is entitled "Come Home Running." The song is based on the Parable of the Prodigal Son in the Bible. The lyrics are so heart warming & very apt in our world today where people find it hard to forgive one another. We see here a picture of our God (the Father) waiting expectantly for his Son to return home, return back into his loving arms. O how I wish everyday people will come back to God's welcoming arms and hands - the same hands that were pierced for our sins.

Here are the lyrics:


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


Chorus
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


Oh child of God so dearly loved
And ransomed by the Savior's blood
And called by name, daughter and son
Wrapped in the robe of righteousness

I hope you come back to God lost one!
