Stolen

I've posted this on facebook before but I must elaborate how awesome this song is.

This song talks about how God chases and woos our distracted, elusive and wandering heart. When I heard this song, my heart and my whole being just sang and celebrated God's unwavering love for us through the ages.

A really catchy tune with awesome lyrics and a heart-warming theme of God's steadfast love for us.

Well, there are many seasons and in some seasons God keeps silent, some seasons God pours His love out on us extravagantly and in some seasons, He chases after us, wooing us back to His side.

This song best describes the third scenario or possible season. I'm just so glad that God's love for us is boundless and I'm also glad that He created Brandon Heath to write so many awesome songs.

So yup, here's the link with the lyrics.


Stolen
Brandon Heath                                      Key: B

I'm a fugitive
Running from the life that I was meant to live
Looking for somewhere that I can lay my head
I'm lucky if I make it through the night
But I can't sleep
Knowing that You're one more step ahead of me
I'm a fool for ever thinking You'd just let me go
That's not the way it's ever gone before
I'm Yours

You catch me like a thief in the night
You hold me when I put up a fight
You chase me when I run from Your light
Because You love, You won't give up
'Til my heart is stolen
'Til my heart is stolen away

I'm trying to understand that life comes after dying
To embrace that I'm a slave until I'm captured
But You would never use a lock or a key
'Cause I am free

I could change my name, cover all my tracks
But I'm wrong to think I could lose the past
'Cause You found me here and You took me back
Once a criminal, now a prodigal

Yup, do check out his albums...All of his albums have awesome, really personal songs. Hope you've been blessed! :)
