Chasing What I Can’t Name

[Verse 1] I keep running after A blur at the edge of my vision A word on the tip of my tongue A door that almost remembers my key It tugs my sleeve in traffic Waits in the quiet sink of dishes Hums behind my laughter with friends Breathes in the space between texts [Chorus] I’m chasing something I can’t name Heart on fire Hands the same When I reach It slips away But it keeps on calling Calling If this thirst is not for fame If this ache is not for praise Then Jesus Meet me in this chase ’cause I think it’s You I’m always running toward [Verse 2] I scroll till my thumb is numb More faces More phrases More shining things Each one promises “This will fill you” Each one fades like a spark in the rain I stand in a room full of people Laugh on cue Smile on beat And still feel that hollow echo Behind my ribs Knocking Steady Kind So I bargain with my own reflection “Next job Next trip Next win Then the buzzing in my chest will sleep” But it never does It only sings louder [Chorus] I’m chasing something I can’t name Heart on fire Hands the same When I reach It slips away But it keeps on calling Calling If this thirst is not for fame If this ache is not for praise Then Jesus Meet me in this chase ’cause I think it’s You I’m always running toward [Bridge] Maybe this longing is holy Maybe this hunger is mercy in motion A compass needle spinning Spinning Till it settles on Your open arms So I lay down my sprint at Your altar My unfinished questions My restless Racing pulse And I whisper “If it’s You… don’t let me outrun You” (oh) [Chorus] I’m chasing something I can’t name Heart on fire Hands the same When I reach It slips away But it keeps on calling Calling If this thirst is not for fame If this ache is not for praise Then Jesus Meet me in this chase ’cause I know it’s You I’m always running toward
