Lyrics
We been waiting a long time for this
Tye Tribbett and New Breed together
We had to come to Asia to do it
Oh, by the way, so grateful
And we can't run from Your grace
'Cause Your grace is chasing
Come on, Your grace is chasing me down
Chasing me down
Goodness and mercy
Is following me
Your grace is chasing me down
Chasing me down
Goodness and mercy
Following me
No more condemnation
No more separation from you
Your love, Your love for me
Is running wild and free
Your goodness and mercy
Taking me over
Your love, Your love won't change
Your promises remain
Stronger than sin and shame
I can't outrun Your grace
I can't outrun it
I can't outrun it
I can't outrun it
Your grace is chasing me down
Chasing me down
Goodness and mercy
Is following me
Your grace is chasing me down
Chasing me down
Goodness and mercy
Is following me
No more condemnations
No more separation from you
Your love, Your love for me
Is running wild and free
Your goodness and mercy
Taking me over
Your love, Your love won't change
Your promises remain
Stronger than sin and shame
I can't outrun Your grace
Everywhere I go, Your grace is right there
Everywhere I turn, Your grace is right there
Even when I fall, Your grace is right there
What you say? Right there
What you say? You heard me say, uh
Everywhere I go, Your grace is right there
Everywhere I turn, Your grace is right there
Even when I fall, Your grace is right there
Right there, right there, right there, right there
Everywhere I go, Your grace is right there
Everywhere I turn, Your grace is right there
Even when I fall, Your grace is right there

Meaning & Inspiration
Chasing Me Down centers on grace that remains present through failure, shame, and every attempted retreat. The repeated picture of goodness and mercy following the singer turns divine grace into the main action of the song: it pursues, surrounds, and refuses to abandon. Lines about freedom from condemnation and separation give that confidence a clear Christian basis rather than presenting grace as vague optimism.
The song closely echoes Psalm 23:6, where goodness and mercy follow throughout life. Its declaration of no condemnation recalls Romans 8:1, while the insistence that divine love will not let go is consistent with the assurance near the end of Romans 8. Repetition reinforces the contrast between human weakness and a promise described as stronger than sin and shame. Even the admission of falling does not become an excuse for despair; it becomes another setting in which grace is said to be present. The result is praise shaped by security in Gods enduring mercy and love.
