Michael Card - Hound Of Heaven Lyrics
Michael CardI fled Him down the nights and daysI fled Him down the path of yearsI heard all about the love of the OneWho was following meI clung to every shallow friendThe whistling mane of every windI feared that once I tasted that loveI could never let goCause those strong feet kept following the way I spedBut the love that followed overcame the fear that fledSo I ran inside the world againTo the ones who called the Hound their friendI thought in vain that would be the best place to hideTo mother nature's breast I flewAnd shouted to the sky so bluePlease hide me from this One so set on loving meCame back a voice that sounded like the bursting seaNone will shelter you who will not shelter meShelter me, Shelter meFinally, I can flee no moreI yielded for Your open doorThe prize You sought for so long is finally YoursYour dark and gloom have hounded meFor so long now that I can't seeI surrender all those things You've taken from meCame back a voice that did not take him for your heartI only wanted You to seek them in my allThe dark and gloom you saidYou could no longer standWas after all the shadow of My loving handHow little worthy of My love could anyone beWho else could ever love you, save only Me
