Lose My Soul (Live)

Lyrics

[Intro: TobyMac] When I was just a young boy On the back of my daddy's real estate business card were the words: "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?" I can't say I knew what it meant back then y'all, but I sure do now [Verse 1: TobyMac & DiverseCity] Father God, I am clay in your hands I wanna 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 Evеrything that I see draws me Though it's only in You that I can truly see That it's a feast for the еyes, a low blow to purpose And I'm a little kid at a three-ring circus [Chorus: TobyMac, DiverseCity, Both] I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul (Don't wanna walk away, let me hear those people say) I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul (Don't wanna walk away, let me hear) Mr. Gabe Real (Let me hear) [Verse 2: Gabriel Patillo, TobyMac & DiverseCity, All] The paparazzi flash, 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 peek at the charts But yo, before we part from the start, where's your heart? You a pimp? A hustler? Tell me what's your title America got no more stars, now we call 'em idols You sit idle as we teach prosperity The first thing to prosper should be inside of me (We're free) Not because of .22s on the range When Christ came in range, we said "yes," now we changin' Not the same, even though I had a fall Since I made that call, no more Saul, now I'm Paul, yeah [Chorus: TobyMac, DiverseCity, Both, Mandisa] I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul (Don't wanna walk away, let me hear those people say) I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul (I don't wanna lose my) (Don't wanna walk away) (Don't wanna lose my) (Let me hear those people say) (I don't wanna lose my) (Don't wanna walk away) (Don't wanna lose my) (Walk away, walk away) Aww, Mandisa, come on [Bridge: Mandisa & DiverseCity, TobyMac] How do I sense the tide that's risin'? (A tide that's risin', y'all) Desensitizin' me (Woo) from livin' in light of eternity (Come on) Eternity (Come on) How do I sense that tide that's risin'? (A tide that's risin', yo) It's hypnotizin' me (Woo) from livin' in light of eternity (Come on) Tell me (Tell me) How do I sense the tide that's risin'? (Woo) Desensitizin' me from livin' in light From livin' in light of eternity [Interlude: TobyMac, Mandisa, Both with DiverseCity] Lord, what we gonna do? We're relyin' on You All eyes are on You, Lord (Our eyes are on You) All eyes are on You Sing it with us, y'all I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul Let's make this our proclamation, our declaration, come on [Chorus: TobyMac, Mandisa, Both, Both with DiverseCity] I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul (Don't let me lose my soul, my soul) I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul (This is my honest plea, Father, won't You cover me) (Come on) I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul (Don't wanna walk away, let all these people say) I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul (Oh, I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose my soul) [Outro: TobyMac, Mandisa, Mandisa & DiverseCity] 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 Won't You grant us the privilege of Your worldview And may Your Kingdom be what wakes us up and lays us down I could sing of Your love forever I could sing of Your love forever (You sing) I could sing of Your love forever I could sing of Your love forever I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul And lose my, my soul Mandisa! [Transition: Gabriel Patillo, TobyMac, DiverseCity] DC, you think they ready for it? We don't think they ready for it T-Mac, you think they ready for it? Yeah, I think they ready!
