Lyrics:
Reckless Love
Written by Cory Asbury, Caleb Culver, and Ran Jackson

Verse 1

Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me
You 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

Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, 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
Oh, 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

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

[ambreeaguilar]

I am only eight years old, but I have been praying to God every single night and listen to the song. It gets stuck in my head when I’m having a bad time I just listen to this song and I love to go to church.🙏

I was 19 years old when I had a respiratory arrest after a night of partying. I was in coma for 18 hours my parents were told that I was dead, that the machines were keeping me alive. They signed the papers and came to the room were my “lifeless” body was to say their final goodbyes. My best friend was with them, my brother was in the waiting room praying with his friends.

While all of this was happening I was getting closer and closer to a beautiful light. I was in a dark tunnel, I wasn’t the only one there, I saw a lot of flashes (souls) passing me and going straight to the light. For some reason I got to a point I couldn’t move forward. I remember like it was yesterday, how much I wanted to reach the light. I remember how peaceful and happy I was feeling the closer I was getting to the light. I felt like my soul knew that place. I reached a point I couldn’t move any further. I kept trying but I was like glued to the floor. At one moment an old lady, stood up next to me. She had a very sweet, noble face. I recognized her face, but till this day, I don’t know who she is. She asked me “what are you doing?” I said “the light, I want to go to the light” she smiled and said “and you will go there, but not today” she touched my shoulder and I felt like the floor opened up and I started falling down. It felt like a free but peaceful fall.

I opened my eyes, I was surrounded of people crying. My parents, brother, best friend, cousin and 2 of my brother friends were there. The doctors and nurses came rushing to see me. I was alive! The medical staff couldn’t believe it!

The days before this happened to me, I was feeling lonely, depression kept on lying to me, telling me no one care, that my life wasn’t worth it, that I wasn’t good enough for this world. What a surprise to find out that more than 100 people including family and family friends gathered the night before they were going to unplug my lifeless body to pray for me, to pray for a miracle. I was surprised to see how a paramedic visited my room after finding out I survived to tell me I was in his prayers and to ask me what happened while I was dying. a nurse was also praying for me. She told me, she secretly prays for her dying patients, but she has a special place in her heart and extra prayers for young dying patients.

I am in my 30’s now. I am a mother and a wife now. My life hasn’t been easy but I am so glad to be here.

Don’t let depression lie to you, God loves you and you are here with a purpose. You are not alone! Life will get better.

I remember how I felt when I got out of the hospital. The sense of appreciation and happiness I felt for being alive. I remember how something as simple as watching and hearing the birds in my backyard was so meaningful to my soul.

God speak to us through his creation daily. We are just to caught up with work, financial problems, material things, toxic relationships, Social apps to listen.

Do yourself a favor and prioritize connecting with him. Sit under a tree, touch the grass with your feet, listen to the birds, the wind, stare at the sky. I promise you, you will feel him, your anxiety will go away, you will smile and feel glad to be alive.

About 5-6 years ago, I was dying. I was in a wheelchair. I was in excruciating chronic pain. I had seizures constantly. Alone. I was in hospice for a bit. I was in the end stages of MS. God gave me a spiritual daughter that would come n get me out. There was a conference called: IN HIS POWER AND PRESENCE about 45 minutes away from us and I told her I felt like I was to go n she said she would take me. God had done told me He was going to heal me. When we arrived at the conference...she pushed me up front and they were singing this song...THE RECKLESS LOVE OF GOD. I was having major seizures at that moment but singing this as loud as I could anyway. The POWER OF GOD FELL SO HARD INSTANTLY ON ME AND INSTANTLY HEALED N DELIVERED ME OF MY SIZURES N GOT ME HEALED FROM THE WHEELCHAIR WHEN I FELT FIRE GOING DOWN MY SPINE!!!! OH this song is 100% HIS LOVE!! LOVE IT N THANK U

I’m a 34 year old man but I cried like a baby listening to this song. I was feeling soo low after a separation and not seeing my son regularly. Lost my job as well. Sad that I did not have income but my boss was abusive so I was kinda OK to leave. Stayed home jobless for 3 months, cried to God, thanked him no matter what, and now opportunities are flowing in. Was able to make some descent money through my side hustle and now I got the job of my dreams. Thank God ALWAYS even when things not working out.

I was born in a Muslim family ...but the love that I have in my heart for Jesus Christ is huge ..I can proudly say that I am a Christian now and GOD has shown that he loves me too...

[SherissaKleynhans]

Please pray for my dad, he is in hospital in high care due to a major stroke. He has been in a coma for a week now, had bleeding on the brain and can't breathe on his own. The doctors reports aren't favourable, i refuse to believe the enemy, i choose faith over fear. I trust know and believe God is doing a new thing in our lives, turning his mysery into ministry🙏 all prayers are appreciated.

[bananatank]

I went from an atheist to now a Christian thanks to Jesus because Jesus saves everyone. God bless everyone

My mom was on birth control when she found out she was pregnant with me. She chose life. She may have not been expecting me, but my God was. Looking back, life was rough growing up in poverty. We were evicted multiple times before middle school, never had anything that even the peers in my low SES neighborhood had. I suffered through teenage depression and profound loneliness during high school. Skateboarding was my only outlet, and it was through skateboarding that God found me in 2003 and changed my life for good. I'm 38 years old now, married 12 years, have a 10 year daughter, have a great career in tech and I'm a homeowner. I'm truly grateful that I was the one that God left the 99 to find.
