Let Grace Catch You

Bless you, little lamb,

Surely goodness and mercy

Shall follow you

All the days of your life

And you shall dwell in the house of the Lord

Forever.

No need to beg for blessings,

If you’re in Jesus’ flock—

His goodness and mercy

Are already hunting you down.

Whether you know it or not,

Good gifts from God are on your heels.

Whether you feel it or not,

His love is in hot pursuit of your soul.

Little lamb, no need to wear yourself out

Chasing after goodness that has already been granted.

No need to worry and strive

For mercy that has already been given.

I bless you not to run faster

In an attempt to be favored—

I bless you to slow down enough

To let God’s grace catch you.
