The Chase

Jesus, once Lord of my life
I've taken You off the throne
I've cast away Your authority
And set out on my own

Shifting my focus inward
I've abandoned Your love and grace
And allowed my constant confusion
To be monarch in Your place

So unconditional is Your love
So unrelenting is Your search
To the ends of the earth
To the depths of my soul
Until again You become the first

Know this, my Salvation
When I run, when I hide
It's my weakened passionate love for You
That fights the outgoing tide

Jesus, my pursuer
Overtake me, stop the chase
My salvation is in Your hands, O God
My peace in Your embrace
