Notes About The Poem

** This is a song I wrote for Lifeblood Ministries about 15 years ago, a CCM song that will NOT be on my upcoming album. There WILL be a couple of Christian songs on the album, but my faith has changed since that time. Please visit my web site for updates @ www.bahku.com. Thanks! **

Chasin' After You

2 Timothy 2:22 - "Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart."

(Verse 1)

I wanna be hungry for your righteousness
I wanna be thirsty for your love
With all I say and do
Gonna keep on chasin' you
I know that I can never have too much

I wanna know the very core of you
Not what you've done but who you are
Your hands are on this place
But I wanna seek your face
I long to know the workings of your heart

(Chorus)

Every hour - every day
I'm chasin' after - chasin' after you Lord
Every reason - every way
Oh I'm chasin' after - chasin' after you Lord
It's all my soul is longing to pursue
Chasin' after you

(Chasin' - chasin' - chasin' after you)
(Chasin' - chasin' after you)

(Verse 2)

I'm never satisfied with waiting here
For all your gifts to come to me
And forever I'll repent
So I can never be content
But long to be with you eternally

The glory of you Lord is knowing you
Not just knowing all you've done
From all I've seen and heard
And the time within your word
Comes a yearning for the presence of your son

(Chorus)

Every hour - every day
I'm chasin' after - chasin' after you Lord
Every reason - every way
Oh I'm chasin' after - chasin' after you Lord
It's all my soul is longing to pursue
Chasin' after you

(Solo Break)

(Chorus Out)

Every hour - every day
I'm chasin' after - chasin' after you Lord
Every reason - every way
Oh I'm chasin' after - chasin' after you Lord
It's all my soul is longing to pursue

Every hour - every day
I'm chasin' after - chasin' after you Lord
Every reason - every way
Oh I'm chasin' after - chasin' after you Lord
It's all my soul is longing to pursue
Chasin' after you.

Darren White May 6, 2017 at 3:07 PM Hi Greg, I had already visited your website, but the music to this is not there :) (ofc) Is there a place where I can listen to it? Gregory Richard Barden May 15, 2017 at 6:02 PM This has never been produced in the studio, Darren - we used to play it as part of the ministry, but it has never been recorded in any kind of quality way that I would share. Someday, perhaps, but my religious views have changed a great deal since then.
