Hound Of Heaven Lyrics - Singles - Card Michael

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...
