[Intro: spoken]
What is true joy?
Or hope?
Where can it be found?
Is it a promise of golden streets?
Is it escaping the fires of Hell?
All things are worthless in view of the surpassing value of simply knowing God
And being known by Him
Know that I may know Him
To one day see the Saviour who purchased my life by His very own blood
To see the King who suffered to die for a person like me
A person like me...
A person like me...
A person like me...

[Verse 1]
On that day when I see my King
And death has lost its sting (Death has lost its sting)
Until then I’m chasing after mysteries
I'm chasing after mysteries
I’m chasing after You

[Pre-Chorus]
Living, You loved me
Though I fought
Dying, You saved me
My soul bought
Buried, You carried my sins away
You carried my sins far away

[Chorus]
(Carry my sins) Carried my sins far away
(As far as the east is stretched from the west)
Carry my sins far away
(From east to west)
Far away
(From east to west)
Far away

[Verse 2]
Suffering, imagine I cannot
Forgiving, all my sins You forgot
Rising, You eased our dismay
You eased me of all my dismay
(All my, all my, all my dismay)

[Verse 3]
On that day when I see my King
And death has lost its sting (Death has lost its sting)
Until then I’m chasing after mysteries
I'm chasing after mysteries
I’m chasing after You

[Chorus]
(Carry my sins) Carried my sins far away
(As far as the east is stretched from the west)
Carry my sins far away
(From east to west)
Far away
(From east to west)
Far away

[Bridge]
I’m looking off into the distance
And though it may just be a shadow
I’m chasing after mysteries to find
The joy in knowing Christ

[Bridge 2: spoken]
All things are worthless in view of the surpassing value of simply knowing God
And being known by Him
Know that I may know Him
To one day see the Saviour who purchased my life by His very own blood
To see the King who suffered to die for a person like me

[Outro]
On that day when I see
My King clothed in all of His power
And His love, I will join the choirs
To sing of His mercies and grace
With all of His beloved
All of His beloved
All of His beloved
All of His beloved
