Andrew Peterson - The Chasing Song lyrics

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 14 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
Oh, 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 Philistines
I'm not quite sure what Jonah chased
But, I know he caught the sea
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 moneymen
And He chased His Father's will
He chased my sin to Calvary
And He caught it on that hill
Saul, he chased the Christians
'Till his blindness made him see
David, he chased God's own heart
All I ever seem to chase is me
