Reckless Pursuit Lyrics

He chased me through the highlands

And down the rocky gorge

Up the steep cliff face

And across the swampy moor

No matter where I ran

You was there with me

High nor low, I could not go

You were chasin' after me

The pursuit of the Son

like a lover for His maid

The yearning of Your heart

Was the end of my charade

The pursuit of true love

Your voice calling out my name

Was the waking of my life

From the darkness of my grave

In the highlands I bowed in reverence

At the shrine of my own way

The gorge and cliff they kept me

Blinded from Your day

Still on and on You came

Despite my scoffing words

And the mire of shame and guilt become

The price that I had earned

The pursuit of the Son

like a lover for His maid

The yearning of Your heart

Was the end of my charade

The pursuit of true love

Your voice calling out my name

Was the waking of my life

From the darkness of my grave

Alas, the chase had ended

I had fallen from my pride

My will had finally broken

As You knelt near my side

You sang Your songs of love

'Til the words had healed my wounds

Oh, how could I've run from the One

Who had recklessly pursued

The pursuit of the Son

like a lover for His maid

The yearning of Your heart

Was the end of my charade

The pursuit of true love

Your voice calling out my name

Was the waking of my life

From the darkness of my grave
