The Chase
the UPAFTER Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You′re the reason for the words that I sing
So I bring an offering
Devoted recklessly
Here I am to stand before Your throne
You paid it all to call me as Your own
So I'm trading all of me
When I need Your blood, Your cleansing flow
Your love will never fail to find my soul
My hiding place, My strength and hope
Your love will never fail to find my soul
Here I am to sing a melody
The song of all the things You′ve done for me
Your grace has washed away
My emptiness and shame
When I need Your blood, Your cleansing flow
Your love will never fail to find my soul
My hiding place, My strength and hope
Your love will never fail to find my soul
How amazing, unrelenting
Is the way You chase my heart
How amazing, unrelenting
Is the way You chase my heart
I'm trading all of me
For the cross that sets me free
When I need Your blood, Your cleansing flow
Your love will never fail to find my soul
My hiding place, My strength and hope
Your love will never fail to find my soul
How amazing, unrelenting
Is the way You chase my heart
How amazing, unrelenting
Is the way You chase my heart
Is the way You chase my heart
