"Chasing After You (Live)" by Our Church Youth: A Joyful Pursuit of God


Our Church Youth’s “Chasing After You (Live)” is a fun, upbeat song that reminds us that God relentlessly pursues our hearts. The backstory ties the song to Matthew 6:26, “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” The song calls us to trust God, find purpose in His ways, and be filled with joy in Him.

Our Church Youth - Chasing After You (Live)The lyrics encourage us to look around to see His hand: “Every sunrise I find // There’s nothing You can’t do.” All of nature points to His faithfulness, “Every sparrow flown high // Reminds me of the truth.” And in our own lives, when things feel overwhelming, like “This mountain in my way,” the song encourages us to let go of worry because “every star moves by design.”

In the chorus we get to the key message of the song: “All that I want is all that You want // Is all that You plan for me // I’m chasing after You.” Our surrender to God, with a heart filled with gratitude and hope. “Every word You say // Is a promise paved,” and all we need to do is trust in His plans and walk the path that He has prepared for us.

So, if you need a boost of faith, then this song will fill you with hope. May its message and energy remind you that God is always running after you.

(Related scripture: Matthew 6:26; Jeremiah 29:11; Psalm 139:7-8)

"Blame Jesus" by Drew Parker: When Grace Rewrites Your Story

Who were you before Jesus found you?  Drew Parker spent a decade chasing a country music dream. He got the record deal, the Opry stage, the number 1 songs written for other artists. Then Jesus interrupted the plan. Drew realized that he’d spent years asking God to bless his ambitions instead of surrendering to God’s. So he decided to walk away from something that was working, not something that was failing. Walking away like this requires a special kind of courage.  In the song “Blame Jesus”, Drew Parker and Steven Curtis Chapman share Drew’s story in plain terms. The song speaks about burning bridges, chasing a “lost highway,” being “a prodigal, a rebel on a losing streak.” Sound familiar? Most of us may have seen a comparable variation of that story in our lives. When God is working in our lives, things change! Drew sings about that change: “these days if you look at me, and what you see ain’t what you used to see.” He doesn’t credit it to willpower or self-improvement. H...

"Not Far From Us" by Divine Vibes: Stop Searching. Start Reaching.

The search can end right now. The Apostle Paul stood in Athens surrounded by altars and idols — a city full of people reaching toward something they couldn’t name. Among all their shrines, Paul spotted one inscription: “To an unknown God.” That moment became the opening of one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture. The people were already searching. They just didn’t know who they were searching for. “Not Far From Us” is a collaboration between Divine Vibes and House of Purpose. The track takes that same scene and sets it to Afro House and cinematic electronic music. Created directly from Acts 17, the lyrics move like Paul’s speech itself — from observation to revelation. “I found an altar to an unknown God // This God whom you worship without knowing // This is the one I’m telling you about.” Divine Vibes doesn’t just retell the story… he pulls you right into it. What Paul told the Athenians next also applies to each of us today: “Yet he is actually not far from each one of ...

"Be Strong in the Lord" by Gresha Schuilling: Victory Begins in Your Mind

What happens when your mind becomes the battlefield? Night & valleys bring their own kind of noise. Fear whispers, doubt shouts, and a hundred voices compete for space in your head. That noise also manages to spread its way into other parts of our lives. That struggle is the theme of Gresha Schuilling's song “Be Strong in the Lord.” The lyrics describe a battle that starts long before our circumstances change: “The battle first was won within // Before the light broke through.” Real victory begins in the mind, not in the moment things finally look better. The song names a shift that most of us are familiar with. While our mind is often capable of balancing external data and placing it in a healthier context, our own thoughts seem to easily bypass that balancing mechanism. Our thoughts grow loud, our fears grow louder, and we need something powerful to interrupt that cycle. We ask God to guide us and bless us with truth. “Your Word grew stronger than our thoughts // As truth to...
