I wake up, is it really another day?
How much longer can I go on?
Lord, please hear me when I pray
Each day seems to get longer and harder
Can You give me the strength to make it,
even though I keep stumbling away from you?
I will never leave you nor forsake you
I hear you when you call on My Name
Every step I take with you
You are my beloved, my daughter, my son
I left the ninety-nine, My child,
to go chasing after you
I hold on even when I feel myself slipping
I cling to You even when the waves are crashing
I run into Your arms when the world is reaching for me
I belong to You, I belong to You
I know You’ve never left me or forsaken me
I hear You speak to me when I call on Your Name
I know You’re with me every step that I take in You
I am Your beloved, Your daughter, Your son
Thank You for leaving the ninety-nine, my King,
to come chasing after me
I will leave the world behind, my Savior,
and never stop chasing after You

AFTER YOU kind of has a two-fold meaning. One, Jesus Christ is chasing us every second of every day. His desire is to for us to want to KNOW Him more. He has such great and mighty things planned for us, yet we sometimes continue running the opposite way. He is asking us to STOP RUNNING, turn towards HIM, and RUN into His open arms.
God is AFTER YOU. Run AFTER HIM.
