Pursued
When I feel like crying,
Because my prayers aren’t heard,
I remember, I’d be lying,
If I didn’t thank God for His word.
When I feel like complaining,
Because my life is so dark,
I remember the joy remaining,
Where God’s love has left its mark.
When I feel like I’m all alone,
Because my burdens are ever near,
I remember One my soul has known,
One whose light is so very clear.
When I feel like giving up,
Because my sorrow is too much,
I remember His amazing grace cup,
And all the love in His touch.
When I feel like life’s been wasted,
Because my hopes have been crushed,
I remember all the wonder I’ve tasted,
As each doubt has been hushed.
When I feel like I’ve lost,
Because my heart is breaking,
I remember what it cost Him,
Saving so there was no mistaking.
When I feel like I have no reason,
Because life is full of grief,
I remember, despite His treason,
Jesus even saved the thief.
When I feel like praying,
Because only God can fix things,
I remember that all I’m saying,
Will be heard by the King of Kings!
When I feel I’m not worth saving,
Because I’ve sinned so gravely,
I remember all my worst depraving,
Can’t spoil what He accomplished so bravely.
When I don’t have the words to offer thanks,
And nothing I can say can show my gratitude,
I remember that He said love will fill in the blanks,
So I’ll give Him all this heart He so gently pursued.
