“Only goodness and mercy will pursue me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of Yehovah to the length of days.”
-Psalm 23:6
Before the day that I was born
Your grace and love prepared my way
You molded me throughout the years
And made me who I am today
The more I grow, the more I know
The more I live, more proof I see
That through each moment of my life
Your grace has been pursuing me
At times your grace was clearly seen
At times it wasn’t seen at all
You lavished it upon my life
In ways so grand, in ways so small
You hold no record of my sins
Your grace has sank them in the sea
Your love is past what I could know
Your grace has been pursuing me
And when my path was set in flames
When floods of fear swept over me
When darkness tried to cloud my sight
Oh, where was grace? I couldn’t see
But then, You sent deliverance
And like a cloak, peace covered me
When freed, I saw that through it all
Your grace had been pursuing me
I know that as the years go by
I surely shall know pain and strife
Your grace will still sustain my heart
No matter where I go in life
Whenever any trial comes
I cling to faith and trust in Thee
No matter what life’s path shall bring
Your grace will keep pursuing me
When through the vale of death I walk
In wars, with me Your grace shall go
Your grace pursues me faster than
The quickest, cruelest, strongest foe
My hope, my confidence is this
The Rock on which I stand is Thee
In poignant pain, in greatest grief
Your grace will keep pursuing me
And even when I fail and fall
Your grace is there to raise me up
Your joy and peace shall never cease
Your blessings overflow my cup
Your grace will guard me till the day
That in Your house, I live with Thee
Forever, to the length of days
Your grace will keep pursuing me
What a beautiful reminder of God’s grace…always and forever pursuing us!
