Pursue Me (Psalm 23:6)

[INTRO — spoken] Life isn’t always easy But You are always good [VERSE 1] I thought “good” was an easy road No shadows in my way But You said I’d walk through valleys In your presence I would stay So when my plans don’t hold together when the night feels dlong I’m learning what You’ve promised Is deeper than my calm [PRE-CHORUS] You’re not the God who vanishes When trouble comes around You’re the Shepherd in the middle With steady holy ground [CHORUS] Surely Your goodness and unfailing love Will pursue me, pursue me All the days of my life Even when I can’t feel it Even when I’m fighting through it You’re still good, You’re still near And my future’s in Your hands Surely Your goodness and unfailing love Will pursue me again [VERSE 2] Sometimes I worry, but I know With You I’m safe and held Help me notice how You lead me In the ordinary steps I don’t have to fear disappointing You Or losing You somehow Nothing can take Your love from me You won’t let go now [CHORUS] Surely Your goodness and unfailing love Will pursue me, pursue me All the days of my life Even when I can’t feel it Even when I’m fighting through it You’re still good, You’re still near And my future’s in Your hands Surely Your goodness and unfailing love Will pursue me again [BRIDGE — prayer] God, thank You for always being good When I worry, remind me I am safe and protected Help me notice the ways You lead me each day I want to live a life that honors You Thank You for loving me and letting me belong to You I give You my future It’s in good and trustworthy hands [SPOKEN WORD — scripture (word-for-word, NLT)] Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever Psalm 23:6 [FINAL CHORUS — bigger, harmonies] Surely Your goodness and unfailing love Will pursue me, pursue me All the days of my life Through the valleys, through the sunlight Through the questions, through the fight You’re still good, You’re still near And forever means I’m Yours Surely Your goodness and unfailing love Will pursue me again [OUTRO — quiet] All the days All my life Forever
