Razorigami - Hound of Heaven lyrics

A blinding light On the road to Damascus "Why do you persecute Me?" The risen Christ Confronts Saul of Tarsus The scales would fall and he'd see How much he'd suffer For the name of the Savior to live in Christ, boast the pain From Stephen's d**h To a Rome execution Paul lived the gospel in chains The Hound of Heaven was on his heels Jesus compelled him in faith's contention Press toward the mark to win the prize The worst of sinners can find redemption... in the Hound of Heaven! A violent storm Great wind on the high seas Who shall we throw overboard?" It's all my fault Throw me into the drink boys I cannot run from the Lord Three days and nights In the guts of the great fish Jonah cried out from the deep I'll look again To your Holy Temple What I have vowed I will keep The Hound of Heaven was on his heels On Jonah's life was a call to action The fate of Ninevah nearly sealed A wicked city can find compa**ion... in the Hound of Heaven! A saddened walk On the road to Emmaus They saw but did not perceive Jesus Himself Drew near and went with them So slow of heart to believe The Hound of Heaven is on our heels Who will go forth to a fallen nation? Before the glory of Christ is revealed Who will speak the message of true salvation?
