Lyrics
Chasing Dreams
Words and Music by LL. White, c. 2020 Beglorifiedmusic BMI
VERSE I
I’ve been chasing dreams,
I’ve been chasing dreams.
Dreams have let me down.
But God has given keys
to reality.
Forget the dream
Show me the vision.
Dispense with the dream,
Give me the vision…
Chorus:
So I can be the head and not the tail,
Above and not beneath;
a lender and not a borrower,
A holder of the key.
An heir and a joint heir with the Father.
This is what God promised me.
BRIDGE I
So forgive me for all the time I wasted;
And show me the thing that keeps me from it.
VERSE II
‘Cause I’ve got nothing left,
I’ve got nothing left.
Life has let me down;
Seems like all my days,
Words only get in the way.
Forget the dream
Show me the vision.
Dispense with the dream,
Give me the vision…
CHORUS II
It’s time to declare and decree
That I’m above and not beneath;
I should be a lender and not a borrower,
A holder of the key,
A heir and a joint heir with the Father;
This is what God promised me.
BRIDGE II
So show me the thing that keeps me from it.
“And forgive me for all the time I’ve wasted.”
It’s time to declare and decree
That I’m a holder of the ‘keys;’
That I’m a lender and not a borrower,
Above and not beneath.
An heir and a joint heir with the Father.
This is what God promised me.

VAMP:
Hold on!
Leader: (If you didn’t get there yet.)
Hold on!
(He’s not short on His promises.)
Hold on!
(God is perfecting everything that concerns you.)
Hold on!
(He will never desert you.)
