Run After Me

Recently while listening to one of my favorite Pandora stations, I heard a song that I loved.

It had beautiful harmony and the lyrics that I heard the first time through were great.

I "liked" it immediately and made note to remember the person who sang it so I could look it up later.

Well, then I forgot to look it up later and I forgot the singers name.

I waited and waited to hear it again.

I finally did and I was in the shower so I couldn't jump out and look at the name but I noted more of the lyrics and loved it even more.  

I thought at that moment that this song was exactly what I needed to be praying for.

The third time I heard it, I got smart and took a screen shot. =)

I looked it up then and since that time I have not been able to get the lyrics out of my head.

Read on and you'll see......

Run After Me

Savior, like a shepherd lead me

Closely draw me to Your side

To depend on my own leading

would leave me forever unsatisfied

Savior, like a shepherd save me

Save me from the path I'd choose

Save me with a fierce protection

and a patience I can't refuse

Be to me a shepherd always

Help me walk with Thee

When I start to run alone, Lord

Run after me

Be to me more than a guide, Lord

Be to me more than a road

Be an all consuming fire

Light my pathway and refine my soul

Can you take me, so slow and stubborn?

Would you chase me when I stray?

Could you train me to hear Your voice, Lord?

Will you set my sight upon Your face?

Be to me a shepherd always

Help me walk with Thee

When I start to run alone, Lord

Run after me

This afternoon, I finally found time to look for a video on youtube and to check out the singer.

The singer/songwriter is Lyndsay Taylor and she is incredible.

Go check her out on her website or her youtube channel.

She can sign like a bird and the harmonies are incredible.

Just watch:

I will be snatching up some of her albums asap!

For now, though, I will be buying Run After Me on itunes and downloading it to my phone.

Because this is a prayer I need to pray repeatedly day in and day out.

Jesus, Be to me a shepherd always.  Help me walk with Thee. When I start to run alone, Lord, Run after me.......
