Before I spoke a word You were singing over me
You have been so so good to me
Before I took a breath You breathed Your life in me
You have been so so kind to me
O the overwhelming never-ending reckless love of God
O it chases me down fights 'til I'm found
Leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it I don't deserve
Still You give Yourself away
O the overwhelming never-ending reckless love of God
When I was Your foe still Your love fought for me
You have been so so good to me
When I felt no worth You paid it all for me
You have been so so kind to me
There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down
Coming after me
“Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God…”
This song captures the pursuing heart of God—the One who leaves the ninety-nine to find the one.
It is not reckless in carelessness, but in its overwhelming, relentless nature.
God does not give up easily. He comes after us, again and again.
Scripture: Luke 15:4 — “Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine… and go after the lost one?”
Ask yourself:
- When have you experienced God pursuing you?
- What does His relentless love mean to you personally?
- Why is it hard to believe God won’t give up on us?
