Lose My Soul

[Kirk Franklin] Man, I wanna tell y'all something, man Man, I'm not gon' let these material things get in my way, y'all I'm tryna get somewhere I'm tryna get somewhere that's real and pure and true and eternal Toby, can you go witcha boy? Let's go! [Verse 1: TobyMac] 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 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 [Hook: TobyMac] 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 [Spoken] Mr. Franklin, step up to the mic, sir [Verse 2: Kirk Franklin] 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 [Hook: TobyMac & Mandisa] 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 Don't wanna walk away [TobyMac: Spoken] Mandisa, come on! [Bridge: Mandisa] 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 [Toby Mac] Lord, what we gonna do? We're relying on you All eyes are on you, Lord All eyes are on you [Kirk Franklin: Spoken] All eyes are on you, Jesus [Hook: TobyMac, Mandisa] 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 let me lose my soul, my soul) I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul (This is my honesty, Father, won't you cover me) I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul (Don't wanna walk away, and all those people say) I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul (No, I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose my soul) [TobyMac: Spoken] 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 privilege of your worldview And may your kingdom be What wakes us up And lays us down
