Beautiful Tension - Chasing After You Lyrics

I've seen what this world offers
And all it has to gain
I've witnessed good men chase its wealth
And watched their lives decay

But I have tasted true Love
And I'll never be the same
You've given me a purpose
I wouldn't trade for anything

You're changing everything
Everything

All my dreams don't mean a thing
The very words I sing
Become so counterfeit and empty
When my world's void of you
Your Love means life to me
It's everything I need
That's why I'm gonna spend a lifetime
Chasing after you
Chasing after you
Chasing after you
Chasing after you

This world is just a vapor
It's something we can't hold
And I don't want to gain it
If it means I'll lose my soul

I will not stand for nothing
I'll always fight for truth
Don't ever let me lose myself
Unless I'm lost in You
You're changing everything
Everything

All my dreams don't mean a thing
The very words I sing
Become so counterfeit and empty
When my world's void of you
Your Love means life to me
It's everything I need
That's why I'm gonna spend a lifetime
Chasing after you
Chasing after you
Chasing after you
Chasing after you

Everybody's chasing something
We're all running a race and placing bets
Taking leaps with no nets
If your friend jumped off of a cliff would you o it too?
But isn't that what we do?
We pursue
The path of our idols assuming they know how to win
But they don't know they're just following whoever's in front of them
Plus having your name in lights
Don't mean that you got it right
You still got questions when it's late at night
Like if chasing things that place us in a state of high
Leaves us dry plus it fades
Could we be trading the Truth of God for a Lie?
But not I
I can't live without His Grace
So I'm picking up the pace
'Cause that money that fame and that pleasure will never please us
It's not about our statuses or how somebody sees us
We could have the world but it will never appease us
'Cause peace only comes when we're
Chasing Jesus

All my dreams don't mean a thing
The very words I sing
Become so counterfeit and empty
When my world's void of you
Your Love means life to me
It's everything I need
That's why I'm gonna spend a lifetime
Chasing after you
Chasing after you
Chasing after you
Chasing after you
