Nothing, nothing..
Nothing, nothing, but..
Nothing, nothing, but..
I'm chasing nothing but..
Blinded by desire, heart's out of focus
Running past the truth, didn't even notice
Is who I've been who You've called me to be?
Is where I am where You want me?
I could have the fame, I could have the fortune
I could have it all, but I would still have nothing
Don't want my dreams to be an empty pursuit
'Cause life is meaningless without You
I don't want to try to save my life
I want to lose it
I give it away, give it to You
Lord, You can use it, use it
I'm chasing nothing but..
(Nothing, nothing)
I'm chasing nothing but..You, You
(Nothing, nothing)
I'm chasing nothing but..
You, oh, You, oh, You, oh, You, oh, You, oh, You, oh, You, oh
I'm chasing nothing but You
Chasing nothing but You
Chasing nothing but You, You
I'm chasing nothing but You
All I see is smoke, all I see are mirrors
Trying to find myself in a blurry picture
Just a glimpse of You is all that I need
Give You my life and you give it meaning
Desperate for the real, I don't want illusion
You're the only truth, there's no substituting
No substituting
Look, I was never really good at playing hide and seek
Well, I was really good at hiding, I just hate when I had to seek
And most of my friends would get mad at me
But I didn't realize what was happening
'Cause how ironic looking back from growing up
That that's just how my life would be, until I found the key
Open up the good book, took a good look
And I couldn't get it out of my head, like a good hook
It showed me things that no one else really could
I just knew that I wanted more
That's a good cook
Nothing's stopping me
I got way too much passion inside of me
I spent way too much time living sloppily
Now I see that the prize is right in front of me
I don't want no fake love, that's that takes-but-never-gives love
I want that someone-would-die-just-to-save-my-life-wait-way-before-I-exist love
I looked everywhere, couldn't find it
I know it's here, where was it hiding?
Everything in my life going silent
Then I hear You calling my name, perfect timing
Chasing after You, I'm chasing after You
I look to You and no one else, 'cause nothing else will do
And I'll follow You for however long this journey lasts
And I promise there's no looking back
And I'm chasing until everything fades to black
I don't want to try to save my life
I want to lose it
I give it away, give it to You
Lord, You can use it, yeah, use it
I don't want to try to save my life
I want to lose it
I give it away, give it to You
Lord, You can use it, yeah
I'm chasing nothing but..You...
I'm chasing nothing but You...
I'm chasing nothing but...
You, oh, You, oh, You, oh, You, oh, You, oh, You, oh, You, oh
I'm chasing nothing but You...
