This song was written after listening to a series of John Piper sermons on John 4:1-30, about the woman at the well. It talks about how Jesus pursues sinners like us, like how Jesus purposefully went to Samaria (though He didn't need to), how He purposefully sat at the well and sent His disciples away, how He purposefully broke cultural barriers and how He relentlessly pursued the woman though she tried to change the topic many times and was so blind to what He was talking about. Jesus kept at it and in the end He made a worshipper out of a sinner.
Thanks Anne for playing the guitar and background vocals!
Relentless Love
This is a mystery
That God would love a sinner’s heart
Relentless love pursues me
And by grace He draws me
Broken and poured out
His Love flows deep into my heart
Cleansing all my sin and shame
Making what’s dead live again
His light shines on me
Lifting the darkness from my eyes
To see Him in His glory
And His holy majesty
His Love flows through me
Removing the hardness from my heart
His Spirit dwells within me
And brings me to worship
