Amazing how you never saw it coming
Hard to believe it how the miracle was waiting for you
All this time
Amazing this feeling that you're feeling now
And how the heart that was barely beating
Can suddenly come back to life
When love comes running after you
When love comes running after you
You don't have to hide your heart anymore
When love comes chasing after you
Just stop and let it capture you
Let it show you what you've been hoping for
When it takes you in
A new beginning will begin
When love comes running after you
Running
Running
When love comes running
Love is running after you
Running
Running
When love comes running
Love is running after you
Amazing what we're gonna find
When the walls come down
When you finally realize
The strength that comes from knowing you are not alone
And once you've been captured by the Father's heart
You can finally rest in knowing
His love is never gonna let you go
When love comes running after you
When love comes running after you
You don't have to hide your heart anymore
When love comes chasing after you
Just stop and let it capture you
Let it show you what you've been hoping for
When it takes you in
A new beginning will begin
When love comes running after you
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
When love comes running after you
When love comes running after you
You don't have to hide your heart anymore
When love comes chasing after you
Just stop and let it capture you
Let it show you what you've been longing for
When love comes running after you
When love comes running after you
You don't have to hide your heart anymore
When love comes chasing after you
Just stop and let it capture you
Let it show you what you've been hoping for
When it takes you in
A new beginning will begin
When love comes running after you
Running
Running
When love comes running
Love is running after you
Running
Running
When love comes running
Love is running after you
