Hound Of Heaven Lyrics - Singles - Razorigami

A blinding light 

On the road to Damascus 

"Why do you persecute Me?" 

The risen Christ 

Confronts Saul of Tarsus 

The scales would fall and he'd see 

How much he'd suffer 

For the name of the Savior 

to live in Christ, boast the pain 

From Stephen's death 

To a Rome execution 

Paul lived the gospel in chains 

The Hound of Heaven was on his heels 

Jesus compelled him in faith's contention 

Press toward the mark to win the prize 

The worst of sinners can find redemption... in the Hound of Heaven! 

A violent storm 

Great wind on the high seas 

Who shall we throw overboard?" 

It's all my fault 

Throw me into the drink boys 

I cannot run from the Lord 

Three days and nights 

In the guts of the great fish 

Jonah cried out from the deep 

I'll look again 

To your Holy Temple 

What I have vowed I will keep 

The Hound of Heaven was on his heels 

On Jonah's life was a call to action 

The fate of Ninevah nearly sealed 

A wicked city can find compassion... in the Hound of Heaven! 

A saddened walk 

On the road to Emmaus 

They saw but did not perceive 

Jesus Himself 

Drew near and went with them 

So slow of heart to believe 

The Hound of Heaven is on our heels 

Who will go forth to a fallen nation? 

Before the glory of Christ is revealed 

Who will speak the message of true salvation?
