tobymac - lose my soul (live) lyrics

“when i was a young boy, on the back of my daddy’s real estate business cards were the words: ‘what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?’ i can’t say i knew what it meant back then y’all, but i sure do now.”

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 who’s 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 sеlf love
everything that i see draws me
though it’s only in you that i can truly see
that it’s a fеast for the eyes, a low blow to purpose
and i’m a little kid at a three+ring circus

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 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 .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 want to 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

how do i sense the tide that’s rising?
desensitizing me from living in the light of eternity
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?
desensitizing 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

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 want to 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)
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, won’t you grant us the privilege of your worldview, and may your kingdom be what wakes us up and lays us down.”

i could sing of your love forever
i could sing of your love forever
i could sing of your love forever
i could sing of your love forever

i don’t wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul
and lose my, my soul
