TobyMac - Lose My Soul Lyrics

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'ma be a daddy who's in the mix
And I'ma 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

No, 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 want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
Don't wanna walk away, walk away, walk away

The paparazzi flashes and 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
Yo, before we part from the start, where's your heart?

You're 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
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, walk away, walk away

How do I sense the tide is rising?
Desensitizing me from living in the light of eternity, eternity
How do I sense the tide is rising?
It's hypnotizing me from living in light of eternity
Tell me, how do I sense the tide that's rising?
Desensitizing me from living in light, living in light of eternity

Oh, what we gonna do?
When 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 want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul

Lord forgive us when we get consumed
By the things of this world and fight for our love and our passion
As our eyes open wide on You, grant us the privilege of Your world
And may Your kingdom be what wakes us up and lays us down
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
