Isreal Houghton drops “Reckless Love” the first single from his forthcoming new project. The pop-flecked heartfelt track talks about the unconditional love of God.
The Multi Grammy®, Stellar and Dove Award-winning gospel recording artist said:
“Our society has trained us to accept the shame as the norm and to be a permanent living force in our lives. But the force of GRACE overpowers shame to its very core to bring the beauty of the reckless love of God”
LYRICS:
[Verse 1] Before I spoke a word, You were singing over meYou 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 [Chorus] 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 it, still, You give Yourself away
O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 it, still, You give Yourself away
O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God [Interlude] [Bridge] 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
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
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 [Chorus] 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, and I don’t deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God [Outro] I thank You, Lord, I thank You, Lord, I thank You, Lord
