Lyrics

Verse 1

I’ve chased the shine, I’ve known the climb,

Tried to measure life in wins and lines.

But there’s a deeper hunger in my soul,

A truer north I’ve come to know.

When the noise fades and the truth comes clear,

I hear You calling me nearer still.

Not to build my name or guard my own,

But to live wide open, fully known.

Pre-Chorus

I won’t wait for perfect timing,

I won’t love with half a heart.

I’m stepping forward, choosing boldly—

This is where the living starts.

Chorus

I’m seeking the Kingdom, bold and unashamed,

Laying my crowns down in Jesus’ name.

I’ll love my neighbor, no counting the cost,

If I lose myself, I’m never lost.

This is the road I choose to run,

Heart wide open to everyone.

I’m chasing heaven here and now,

Seeking the Kingdom—starting now.

Verse 2

I’ve seen the power of a simple yes,

Of mercy given in the mess.

I’ve learned love moves at the speed of need,

It doesn’t wait for certainty.

From the overlooked to the broken heart,

From the wounded faith to the weary start—

I’ll show up where the pain still breathes,

That’s where You said You’d always be.

Pre-Chorus

I won’t walk past suffering,

I won’t trade truth for ease.

If loving You means loving them,

Then that’s the life I lead.

Chorus

I’m seeking the Kingdom, bold and unashamed,

Laying my crowns down in Jesus’ name.

I’ll love my neighbor, no counting the cost,

If I lose myself, I’m never lost.

This is the road I choose to run,

Heart wide open to everyone.

I’m chasing heaven here and now,

Seeking the Kingdom—starting now.

Bridge

Not my will, but Yours be done,

On this dirt just like above.

Let my life preach louder than my words,

Let compassion be the sermon heard.

If this is the narrow way You said,

Then I’ll walk it till my final breath.

Breakdown (spoken / half-sung)

Love isn’t safe.

Love isn’t small.

Love looks like giving…

Everything.

Final Chorus (Lift)

I’m seeking the Kingdom with hands held high,

Loving without limits, crossing every line.

I’ll serve the least, I’ll lift the low,

That’s how the seeds of heaven grow.

I don’t need comfort, I don’t need fame,

I need my life to reflect Your name.

Here I am—no holding back,

Seeking the Kingdom… and loving like that.

Outro

When history fades and the lights go down,

Let it be said that love was found—

In every step, in every choice,

I sought Your Kingdom…

And I loved with Your voice.
