If you are running away from God,
Where exactly are you running to?
If you’re turning your back on Him,
What in this life is better to choose?
Is this life you are trying to lead,
Is all the striving worth the cost?
Are you finding true satisfaction?
Or are you feeling even more lost?
Or is it the thought of God as judge
Slamming down His gavel on you?
Have you not heard of His mercy,
Or the grace He daily gives to you?
Are you willing to learn the truth?
Uncover the countless evil deceits?
To receive His complete forgiveness
All that you’re required is to believe.
Should you opt to keep running away
He’ll not lose track of your location.
He’ll be there when you stop running.
His desire to save is an open invitation.
Preciously loved creation of His.
His loving grace knows no bounds.
You cannot get so completely lost
That you can’t by Him be found.
When you get to that point in life,
When your running has ceased.
Don’t be so afraid or ashamed
To knock on His door of belief.
His arms will be stretched wide.
Just like they were on the cross.
The Good Shepherd never quits
When He’s seeking out the lost.
