God is Amazing

I love how God chases us down and rescues us from drowning in our sorrows. I love how He answers our calls to act, how He intervenes on our behalf... simply because He can't stand there and do nothing. I absolutely love that character trait in Him. To think that He is constantly, actively pursuing us. And He will never grow tired or weary in doing so. There is a song by a band called Red and it describes this attribute of God so perfectly. Here are the lyrics... I hope they inspire you as they did me!

"Forever"

I try to run, I try to hide from a voice I couldn't satisfy / That was me, Always needing more / And letting go of all I had before / Cause it feels like the end / A wound that I can't mend / I just can't fight fight any longer / You waited 'til I sobered / You came when You knew that the game was over / I didn't even want to be found

But you chased me down and broke in just when / I was done believing / Spun me 'round so close now / I can feel you breathing / Sunlight burns inside and / I feel so alive and / Help me now, tell me how / How can this last forever, forever

I ignored the signs, opened every door / But I couldn't find what I searched for / I try to fight but I turn and run / Every move I make is the wrong one / You patiently wait for my next mistake / I know it won't be much longer / You waited 'til I sobered / You came when You knew that the game was over / I didn't even want to be found

But you chased me down and broke in just when / I was done believing / Spun me 'round so close now / I can feel you breathing / Sunlight burns inside and / I feel so alive and / Help me now, tell me how / How can this last forever

You gave me so much more / Than I could ever ask for / But I turned and followed / A road that left me hollow / And still you waited for me to come back home / You brought me home....

You chased me down and broke in just when / I was done believing / Spun me 'round so close now / I can feel you breathing / Sunlight burns inside and / I feel so alive and / Help me now, tell me how / How can this last forever, forever
