The Chasing Song

Now and then these feet just take to wandering

Now and then I prop them up at home

Sometimes I think about the consequences

Sometimes I don't

Well, I realize that falling down ain't graceful

But I thank the Lord that falling's full of grace

Sometimes I take my eyes off Jesus

And you know that's all it takes

Well, I wish that I could say that at the close of every day

I was happy with the way that I'm behaving

'Cause Job, he chased an answer

The wise men chased the Child

Jacob chased her fourteen years

And he captured Rachel's smile

And Moses chased the Promised Land

Joseph chased a dream

David, he chased God's own heart

All I ever seem to chase is me

Well, they say a race can only have one winner

And you know you've got to pull out front to win

God knows the only time I'm winning

Is when I'm chasing Him

So, I wish that I could say that at the close of every day

I was happy with the way that I'm behaving

'Cause Samson chased a woman

And he chased the Phillistines

I'm not quite sure what Jonah chased

But I know he caught the sea

And Cain, he chased the harvest

While Abel chased the beasts

David, he chased God's own heart

All I ever seem to chase is me

And Jesus chased the money men

And He chased His Father's will

He chased my sin to Calvary

And He caught it on that hill

And Saul, he chased the Christians

'Til his blindness made him see

David, he chased God's own heart

All I ever seem to chase is me
