The Chasing Song

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 
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 and answer 
The wise men chased the Child 
Jacob chased her 14 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 

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 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
