Tobymac Lose My Soul/Afterparty Lyrics

Verse 1
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 whose 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 its a feast for the eyes- a low blow to purpose
And I'm a little kid at a three ring circus

Chorus
I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
Don't wanna walk away let me hear the people say

Verse 2
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 peak at the charts
You before we part from the start where's your heart?
You a pimp, hustler?
Tell me what's your t__le

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

Verse 3
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
De-sensitizing me from living in light of eternity
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
It's hypnotizing me from living in light of eternity

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
Grant us the priviledge of your wealth and may your kingdom be what wakes us up and lays us down
