Shaded Red - When God Ran 

I learned to play guitar in high school. This was my Grandma's favorite song that I played. Even though she is no longer with us, every time I hear it, I remember her joyful smile and how proud she was of me. Shaded Red will always be one of my favorite bands of all time.

I saw Shaded Red do this song in a small theater on the square in Kaufman, TX. Will never forget it. Love the song.

- I absolutely love this song, and it makes my heart burst with love whenever I hear it - I was lucky enough to be a part of their time in existence ( shaded red ) and provide production for them back in 1999. wonderful group of guys. Obtaining any touring support from a label back then was darn near impossible for Christan bands, and these guys were an unfortunate casualty.

I remember seeing these guys play this at a church when I was younger and I remember the lead singer telling a story about just losing his father, I was probably 14 years old. now I'm 29 and I just lost my father in December, so this song means so much to me even more now.

Thanks for posting, this is my fav version of this song !

Our pastor had the worship team learn this song for service this week since he was teaching on the Prodigal Son passage. Can't hear it without tears.

One of my all time favorites, thanks for posting!!!! Awesome Lord is right!!!!KING OF KINGS forever!!!!!!

I was at KingdomBound 98 or 99 and was so pumped to see Shaded Red. They got on stage and it poured down rain. I never got to hear them, such a bummer.

I love Shaded Red. y are the good one's so rare?

brings tears to my eyes every time, knowing that no matter how many times i fail, he still loves me despite of the things i've done to hurt him... ..HE>i

Great song for my teenage years in the 90s

I remember seeing these guys in a tiny church in Longmont Colorado on new years eve.

What a anthem for worship

@sloppyjoes7 I remember them posting about free distribution of their music on their website after they lost their label. I was doing so for a while. I was hoping that they would eventually get back together. Shaded Red was one of the best bands of the 90s. I don't think they made a song I didn't like.

One of my favorites by Shaded Red & originally by Benny Hester

Wish i had heard of this group before there CD's became ultra rare... not even on itunes can you believe that?

I love this version❤✝😢

@Clone0785 The label disappeared, and the band broke up. I managed to buy both albums and ripped super-high-quality MP3s, and I think, FLAC audio. (FLAC is perfect and lossless). The band authorized distribution of their music prior to their breakup, in one of their newsletters, due to the rarity of their CDs. I think that offer is still valid. I've considered putting my files on the internet, but I'm hesitant due to potential copyright issues. The band did ask the fansite to shut down...

Awesome song.

Thanks a lot

this is one of those songs that really makes the relationship clear. Phillips Craig and Dean do a fantasic version of this song too.

You can actually find there CD cheap on amazon.

How is this the only copy of this song I can find online? Now I have to dig out old MP3s

Beautiful Benny Hester song. This is a nice version but no one does it quite as good as Benny Hester.

Süß und herzig

I remember when i believed in santa clause....
