With my Lord, there isnâ€™t an aint -
Heâ€™s not bound by human constraint! Â
With my Lord, my heart wonâ€™t feint,
even thoughâ€¦ Iâ€™m not a sinless saint!

His continuous waves of love
echo throughout eternity,
with designed blessings thatâ€¦
overtake both you and me!

My Lord sealed The Covenant
and His Kingdom is infinite!
His provisions are endless
and His Grace is measureless!

His continuous waves of love
echo throughout eternity,
with designed blessings thatâ€¦
overtake both you and me!

My Lordâ€™s glory is nonstop;
now praise Him â€˜tilâ€¦ you drop!
His generosity always flows;
praise Him â€˜tilâ€¦ your face glows!

His continuous waves of love
echo throughout eternity,
with designed blessings thatâ€¦
overtake both you and me!

Remember, remember, please remember -
Faith isnâ€™t a bunch of window dressing,
for weâ€™re overtakenâ€¦ by His blessings!

When I saw the title I immediately remembered a sermon in which the preacher indicated that we are usually chased by God's blessing. He used a, illustration about missionary who mistook God's blessing for danger to his life because the person chasing him had a shotgun. The missionary was about to stop to ask for directions when a man in a pickup with a shotgun on a rack in the roof suddenly turned his lights on and raced the truck toward him. Immediately, he just sped of. Since he was in an unfamiliar town and it was night, he accidentally went into a dead end and had to stop. The man ran up to him. "Glad I caught you, my sister asked me to guide you to her home since you'd probably get lost and there are dangerous animals in the woods."
