Lyrics to a new song I just wrote called "Chasing"

I’ve been chasin’ the wind
Trying hard to win
A race I was never meant to run
Seeking for selfish gain
All the while using Your name
As a stool to stand upon
To hear mine proclaimed 

So many wasted days
I’ve spent living for the dream
Seeking a life of comfort
No matter what the means  
So many wasted days
I’ve spent living for the dream
Until I finally realized
That life isn’t what it seems

I finally got it figured out, true happiness
Can only be given by You
Jesus, most joyful man

I finally got it figured out, my goal sole purpose
Is to be loved by You
And to love You in return 

All that was to my gain
I count it now as loss
For the sake of knowing You Jesus
I forget what lies behind
I press on to win the prize 
There is so much more of You, that I have to know
There is so much more of me, that’s left to give
