Lyrics: 
I chased that pot of gold like a prodigal and turned my back on home
But home never turned His back on me
I heard the siren call and squandered all my treasure on fool’s gold
There’s a black hole inside of this black sheep
But You never turned Your back on me

God, You race to the runaway, the runaway, the runaway
God, You race to the runaway heart
Oh, Your grace takes my breath away, my breath away, my breath away
God, You race to the runaway heart
My runaway, runaway heart

Although I’m prone to wander, prone to failure, You are prone to love
Prone to giving me a second chance
Yeah, You are Heaven-bent and unrelenting, You’re not giving up
You’ll never leave me in the wilderness
You’ll never stop, no matter what it costs

God, You race to the runaway, the runaway, the runaway
God, You race to the runaway heart
Oh, Your grace takes my breath away, my breath away, my breath away
God, You race to the runaway heart
My runaway, runaway heart
My runaway, runaway heart

You’d risk the ninety-nine ten thousand times
To find me in the dark
You left Your throne behind to save my life
That’s just how good You are

You’d risk the ninety-nine ten thousand times
To find me in the dark
You left Your throne behind to save my life
That’s just how good You are
That's just how good You are

My runaway, runaway heart
My runaway, runaway
My runaway, runaway heart
