[00:07.28]I fled Him down the nights and days
[00:18.97]I fled Him down the path of years
[00:20.96]I heard all about the love of the One
[00:23.17]Who was following me
[00:24.56]I clung to every shallow friend
[00:28.02]The whistling mane of every wind
[00:30.61]I feared that once I tasted that love
[00:33.35]I could never let go
[00:34.84]Cause those strong feet kept following the way I sped
[00:39.38]But the love that followed overcame the fear that fled
[00:45.25]So I ran inside the world again
[00:53.89]To the ones who called the Hound their friend
[00:56.22]I thought in vain that would be the best place to hide
[01:00.28]To mother nature’s breast I flew
[01:03.83]And shouted to the sky so blue
[01:06.48]Please hide me from this One so set on loving me
[01:10.45]Came back a voice that sounded like the bursting sea
[01:16.53]None will shelter you who will not shelter me
[01:21.47]Shelter me, Shelter me
[01:25.87]Finally, I can flee no more
[01:30.05]I yielded for Your open door
[01:32.46]The prize You sought for so long is finally Yours
[01:36.66]Your dark and gloom have hounded me
[01:40.05]For so long now that I can’t see
[01:42.86]I surrender all those things You’ve taken from me
[01:46.82]Came back a voice that did not take him for your heart
[01:51.79]I only wanted You to seek them in my all
[01:57.63]The dark and gloom you said
[02:05.85]You could no longer stand
[02:08.24]Was after all the shadow of My loving hand
[02:13.18]How little worthy of My love could anyone be
[02:18.53]Who else could ever love you, save only Me…
