Lyrics Lose My Soul - Shoc Remix - tobyMac

Man I wanna tell y'all something, man
Man, I'm not gonna let these material thing's get in my way, ya'll
I'm trying to get somewhere
I'm trying to get somewhere
Thats real and pure and true and eternal
Toby, can you go with your boy (lets 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'ma be a daddy whose 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

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 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
(Mr. Franklin, step up to the mic, sir)

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
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 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 (yep)

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

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

Tell me, how do I sense the tide that's rising?
De-sensitizing me from living in light of eternity

Lord, what we gonna do?
We're relying on you
All eyes are on you Lord
All eyes are on you Jesus

I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul
I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul
I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul
I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul
I don't wanna gain the whole world and 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

Hallelujah, hallelujah
