I’ve been Pursued

Inspired by the tremendous realisation that God loved me first and every other sort of love is simply a bonus because I’ve won the main prize, a relentless pursuit by my Maker, the OG Creator ♡

“Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life.”
– Psalm 23:6

Help me make the right decisions, 
 Help me think the right thoughts, 
 Help me know when to speak 
 and when to listen
 Help me Lord. 
 
 Help me want what you want
 not my will but Father, yours 
 Help me surrender all 
 Help me be fed 
 Till I want no more 
 Till I’m filled with awe 
 At your spirit at work 
 
 How you intentionally weave things together
 All for the pleasure 
 Of proving you know me 
 Better than anyone or anything 
 Of proving your intentions are for good 
 Of proving you have intentions and you think of me 
 
 That should be enough 
 That will be enough 
 because for your love 
 I don’t have to suffer 
 I don’t have to second guess myself 
 it’s secured, it’s what I possess
 in abundance 
 because I have you 
 You’re my boo
 
 That intimacy I crave 
 I receive from you 
 That intention I hail 
 I receive from you 
 That date I want 
 Let’s go on two! 
 
 You are committed to me
 And I to thee 
 Your bride indeed 
 A blissful matrimony 
 A transcendent peace cometh over me 
 
 Because that’s you, you are love 
 Showered from above 
 Meeting me as God 
 Filling me with songs 
 The David-kind, I’m stunned 
 
 As I type, I’m won 
 All over again 
 “I want to be pursued”
 I’ve been though, am I rude? 
 For never noticing you? 
 For never realising that you
 Pursued me when I felt I wasn’t enough 
 Searched for me so that my heart could beat with love 
 So that the rhythm could spell out your name 
 
 ‘To God be the Glory’ 
 To Him be praised  
                                                                                                            Tolulope
 He’s raised me from the pits of despair 
 He’s given me a smile none can compare
 He’s lavished me with gifts and all I want to do is share 
 Share them with the world 
 So they know of Him too 
 Let them know this good, good Father 
 And how He can meet them too 
 
 Just where they are 
 Just where you are 
 He’s never too far 
 Lagbaja - except with a face 
 One that spells ‘Yahweh’ 
 The one that’s too sacred to be explained 
 That is too glorious, Moses had to refrain 
 From staring directly at those flames 
 
 But yet we have faith 
 I have faith 
 That He knows my name 
 He hears my cries and sees my teary eyes 
 He knows when I’m confused and fearing what to do 
 And He steps in 
 Ready to defend 
 Ready to amend 
 Ready to avenge 
 
 He is my anchor 
 When I’m lost in the waves 
 When the wind within my mind 
 Moves those thoughts to sway 
 He keeps it still 
 And He forever will 
 Because He is mine
 And I His precious daughter, 
 how divine!
