[Danny Gokey:]
I don't think about You
As much as I say I do
I don't breathe You in
As much as I pretend
I'm just running circles, getting tired
I've tried to fill Your space, with my desires
Somehow You're still here and I still feel Your touch
God I can't believe Your love
[Danny Gokey & Jordin Sparks:]
I've been chasing dreams
Like wind chasing the falling leaves
I've been chasing things
But all this time Lord
You've been chasing me, ohh
[Jordin Sparks (Both):]
I want my love, for You to be
Strong as Yours is for me, hmmm
('Cause even when I turn my back, You stay
When every thought in me goes my own way
Somehow You're still here and I'm still enough)
God I can't believe Your love
[Danny Gokey & Jordin Sparks:]
I've been chasing dreams
Like wind chasing the falling leaves
I've been chasing things
But all this time Lord
You've been chasing me, ohh
(Ohh You've been chasing me
Yes Lord... hmmm)
[Danny Gokey (Jordin Sparks):]
I've been chasing dreams
(I've been chasing dreams)
Like wind chasing the falling leaves
I've been chasing things
But all this time Lord
You've been chasing me
(Chasing me... Ohh-ohh-ohhhh)
