I’ve heard the following song, He Sought Me, several times in these last few weeks – our songsters sang it last week, and when I’ve been listening to my ipod on a few occasions, various recordings of this song have come on.
A powerful song, with powerful words. Words which I find so very reassuring.
Having had this song on my mind a lot recently, I’ve found myself thinking about the message behind the words. This was when I realised that the message it actual very simple…normally when we lose something we spent hours, sometimes even days trying to find it again. When we “lose” or ignore God, he doesn’t sit about waiting for us to find Him again, He comes looking for us, and He doesn’t give up until he find us again and we give our lives back to Him…If only everything we lost could come looking for us again!
Don’t be lost to God, find Him and give your heart to Him.
The Saviour sought and found me, Far from the narrow way; He made my blinded eyes to see On that wonderful, wonderful day! Chorus He sought me, he sought me, When I was wandering far away; He found me, he found me, O what a wonderful day! He lifted sin’s great burden, He saw my deep dismay, And graciously he pardoned me On that wonderful, wonderful day. My sin was red like crimson, He washed it all away; He filled my heart with melody On that wonderful, wonderful day.
