"Lose My Soul" lyrics

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 with your boy?
Let's go!

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 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 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

All eyes are on you, Jesus

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 let me lose my soul, my soul)
I don't wanna gain the whole world, and lose my soul
(This is my honesty, Father, won't you cover me)
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
(No, I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose my soul)

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 world view
And may your kingdom be
What wakes us up
And lays us down
