Meaning & Inspiration
“Chasing After You” by Vashawn Mitchell is a short gospel choir piece about pursuing God. The lead opens with the line “I’m chasing after you, no matter what I have to do, cause I need you more and more,” and the chorus repeats it before the choir takes up “more and more” in a call and response with the lead.
The bridge adds a second thought: “I’m praising my way through, just to be closer to you.” This presents praise as the way the singer draws near, which is close to Psalm 63:1 and Psalm 42:1 on thirsting after God. The words also echo James 4:8, which speaks of drawing near to God.
The song ends with the choir repeating “more and more.” Its lyric is brief and repetitive, so the focus stays on longing and persistence. It reads as a congregational prayer of hunger for God’s presence.
