I came to meet with God this weekend – my expectations were high
My hope was He would pour out signs and wonders
And we would see His incredible glory fall,
And so I pursued Him....
My heart ached for a deeper, greater, fantastic experience
Beyond all my senses comprehension
My heart ached to know His joy in abundance
To be able to surrender in dance to Him
And so I pursued Him...
I got to greet people, welcome people this weekend
Happy in this new experience He gave me to serve
I asked Him how I could see Him more
He said: “Look into their eyes, Colleen. Look into their eyes.”
And so I pursued Him...
I was able to pray for people this weekend
Asking Him how to each step of the way
My heart wept when two women were set free,
Because I remember how Jesus had done the same for me.
And so I continued to pursue Him...
Someone prophesized into my life this weekend
I collapsed into an abundance of tears
So many promises the Lord had spoken to me
Just became so much more real
And so I continued to pursue Him...
I woke early this morning and went into my prayer closet
This weekend kept turning over in my mind
I read Psalm 145 outloud and began to weep
How great is the King who saved me 4 years past
How enormous is His love for us.
I came to pursue Him in the fantastic
And mightiness of who He is
And I found this One I pursued was
In the pain and the joy and love of what I saw.
In the eyes of a fussing infant, a recovering alcoholic,
A beautiful young lady and a man God rose up higher.
This One I pursued; this One I continue to run after
Has a name greater than all others
His name is Jesus – THERE IS NO OTHER.
