Michael Card Hound Of Heaven
Michael Card I fled Him down the nights and days I fled Him down the path of years I heard all about the love of the One Who was following me I clung to every shallow friend The whistling mane of every wind I feared that once I tasted that love I could never let go Cause those strong feet kept following the way I sped But the love that followed overcame the fear that fled So I ran inside the world again To the ones who called the Hound their friend I thought in vain that would be the best place to hide To mother nature's breast I flew And shouted to the sky so blue Please hide me from this One so set on loving me Came back a voice that sounded like the bursting sea None will shelter you who will not shelter me Shelter me, Shelter me Finally, I can flee no more I yielded for Your open door The prize You sought for so long is finally Yours Your dark and gloom have hounded me For so long now that I can't see I surrender all those things You've taken from me Came back a voice that did not take him for your heart I only wanted You to seek them in my all The dark and gloom you said You could no longer stand Was after all the shadow of My loving hand How little worthy of My love could anyone be Who else could ever love you, save only Me...
