The Chasing Song

[little_minow]

(by Andrew Peterson)

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
'Cause sometimes I take my eyes off Jesus
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 wisemen chased the Child
Jacob chased for fourteen years
And he captured Rachel's smile
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 Sampson chased a woman
And he chased the Philistines
I'm not quite sure what Jonah chased
But I know he caught the sea
Cain, he chased the harvest
While Able chased the beasts
David, he chased God's own heart
All I ever seem to chase is me

And Jesus chased the moneymen
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
