When I Write

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, yeah, yeah I like this Yeah [Verse One] My wifey's pastor tells me all the time he likes what he hears When I met him I had only been writing for a couple of years So the message wasn't really as clear He told me to pray about my direction, and promised I would be steered I found myself being honest about the path that I stepped in Everything I kept in All the sin that just crept in Now when I converse it ain't just all about the worst And I can start out in reverse, and say God, what's up? Let me check-in I see what You're doing, don't know how You do it How You look at me and point me toward the right improvement How You look at me and show that You can get the glory Then make room for me to go out and go tell my story You gave me the outlet Now I'm fully charged (fully charged) Feel like Emmitt Smith, yo, I could rush a milli yards Know that what I'm doing can all be for Your delight No matter how big or bright, I just know You'll let it shine (When I write) [Chorus] I am not a wordsmith You blessed me with the words I am here to give You all the credit You deserve When I write When they ask me who You are That's when I know that I've gotta tell the news Only one direction I just point 'em all to You When I write [Verse Two] My homie tells me I'm his favorite artist I just laugh it off He said I've never known you, ever To play around or be slacking off He tells me, bro, you've got a gift, you've gotta use it Think about your influence and those that you're introducing To the Christ, to the light, to the Father almighty Think they gettin' that from Nike? Bro, that's highly unlikely You don't think you'll make a change? Bro, you're highly mistaken Even if it's just one pair of eyes that are wide and awakened Never put down the pen, keep your hand on the pad Never optimize a plan that compromises the brand Christ first, wife second, don't you think 'bout what's last Always recognize the power that your sanity has But you gotta stay creative, gotta keep creating Take your time with your craft, don't worry about who's waiting Know that what You're doing can all be for His delight No matter how big or bright, I just know you'll let it shine (When you write) [Chorus] I am not a wordsmith You bless me with the words I am here to give You all the credit You deserve When I write When they ask me who You are That's when I know that I've gotta tell the news Only one direction I just point 'em all to You When I write [Verse Three] My mama said she's proud of the man I've become And the things that I'm doing out in the land of the Son And the words that I'm speaking about the God who is ours And the fact that my faith is standing as strong as a tower I may not be the best at what I do, but I'm blessed to be here to do it Even when I'm stressing, I'm pressing and still pursuing Know that what I'm doing can all be for Your delight No matter how big or bright, I just know You'll let it shine (When I Write) [Chorus] I am not a wordsmith You blessed me with the words I am here to give You all the credit You deserve When I write When they ask me who You are That's when I know that I've gotta tell the news Only one direction I just point 'em all to You When I write
