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'mma be a daddy who's in the mix
And I'mma 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 it's a feast for the eyes- a low blow to purpose.
And I'm a little kid at a three-ring circus
I don't wanna gain the whole world, and lose my soul
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say
I don't wanna gain the whole world, and lose my soul
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say
Mr. Franklin step up to the mic, sir
Check it out,
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 peek at the charts
Yo before we part from the start
Where's your heart?
You a punk, 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 .22s 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 wanna gain the whole world, and lose my soul
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say
I don't wanna gain the whole world, and lose my soul
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say
Don't wanna walk away
Don't wanna walk away
Mandisa come on
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
De-sensitizing me from living in the light of eternity, eternity, watch me now
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
It's hypnotizing me from living in the light of eternity
Tell me how do I sense the tide that's rising?
De-sensitizing me from living in the light, living in the light of eternity.
Lord what we gonna do,
We're relying on you,
All eyes are on you Lord,
All eyes are on you, all eyes are on you Jesus.
I don't wanna gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Light a candle y'all lift it higher y'all come on
I don't wanna gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, and all those people say
I don't wanna gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose my soul.
