Lyrics
Verse 1
Each and every day I will seek Your face
My soul is crying out
For more, I want more of You
I won't be satisfied nor content of where I am
So I will apprehend til I'm captured by what I'm after
Bridge (Repeat)
And I will go
From faith to faith
From glory to glory
Chorus (Repeat)
And I'll forever be chasing after You
I'll be chasing after You
Verse 2
I will press towards the mark
For the prize, and I won't faint
There's one thing I desire and that's what I'm going for
I can't continue life, day by day, growing dry
I want to be with You, Jesus, and I'll seek where You are
Bridge (Repeat x3)
Chorus (Repeat x7)
Bridge (Repeat x3)
Chorus (Repeat)

Meaning & Inspiration
"Chasing After You (The Morning Song)" opens with a daily discipline, seeking God's face each day, paired with an admission that satisfaction with current spiritual standing is not the goal. That restless posture sets up the bridge's central image, a repeated progression "from faith to faith, from glory to glory," language drawn directly from a well-known description of ongoing transformation.
Its second verse borrows athletic imagery, pressing toward a mark and refusing to grow faint, language echoing a well-known passage about pursuing a singular prize above every distraction. That pairing of pursuit and progression frames the entire song around continual movement rather than a single completed encounter.
Rooted in contemporary gospel worship's extended vamp and repetition style, the song functions as a declaration of ongoing spiritual hunger, its repeated chorus treating the chase itself, not arrival, as the posture that defines faithful pursuit of God.
