For the crippled, alone, afraid......You are being pursued because you are loved just like you are!

The song sprang from the realization that King David in the old testament went after the poor crippled Mephibosheth and brought him into his house and made him one of his own. The poor crippled man had nothing to offer the king yet, the king wanted him, pursued him, loved him.....aaah the story of grace.

2nd Samuel Chapter 9 – The story of David and Mephibosheth
What a wonderful depiction of Grace

Verse one
Is there anyone left from the house of Saul?
I promised to take care of them all.
Go and find them, bring them to me.
Tell them they’re going to see the King.

Chorus
Ruthless pursuit, the King is searching for you.
Nothing can stop Him, no hiding place is safe.
His love for you – relentless and unchanging.
And there is nothing more amazing than His Grace.

Verse Two
Trembling, I fell before His throne.
I was so crippled, rejected and alone.
Why did He call me? – I’ve nothing to give.
What does a King want with a wretch like me?

Chorus
Ruthless pursuit, the King is searching for you.
Nothing can stop Him, no hiding place is safe.
His love for you – relentless and unchanging.
And there is nothing more amazing than His Grace

Verse Three
Arise He said and called me by my name.
His love for me took away my shame.
I brought Him nothing – He gave me everything.
Now I am a child of the King

Chorus
Ruthless pursuit, the King is searching for you.
Nothing can stop Him, no hiding place is safe.
His love for you – relentless and unchanging.
And there is nothing more amazing than His Grace
