** 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! **

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.

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?

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.
