I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
Verse 1 Father God, I am clay in your hands Help me to stay that way through all life's demands 'Cause they chip and they nag and they pull at me And every little thing I make up my mind to be Like I'm gonna be a daddy whose in the mix And I'm gonna be a husband who stays legit And I pray that I'm an artist who rises above The road that is wide and filled with self love Everything that I see draws me Though it's only in You that I can truly see that its a feast for the eyes- a low blow to purpose And I'm a little kid at a three ring circus
Chorus I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul Don't wanna walk away let me hear the people say
Verse 2 The paparazzi flashes and that they think that it's you But they don't know that who you are is not what you do True, we get it twisted when we peak at the charts You before we part from the start where's your heart? You a pimp, hustler? Tell me what's your title
America has no more stars now we call them idols You sit idle While we teach prosperity The first thing to prosper should be inside of me We're free... Not because of 22's on the range But Christ came in range we said yes now we changed Not the same even though I made a fall since I got that call no more Saul now I'm Paul
I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul Don't wanna walk away let me hear the people say
Verse 3 How do I sense the tide that's rising? De-sensitizing me from living in light of eternity How do I sense the tide that's rising? It's hypnotizing me from living in light of eternity
I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul Don't wanna walk away let me hear the people say
Lord forgive us when we get consumed by the things of this world that fight for our love and our passion as our eyes are open wide and on you Grant us the priviledge of your wealth and may your kingdom be what wakes us up and lays us down.
