Текст песни Lose My Soul - tobyMac , Mandisa

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 sho' do now

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'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 those people say
I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear, let me hear
(Mr. Gabe Real)

The paparazzi flash, 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
But, yo, before you 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 them idols
You sit idle
As 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, and
Not the same even though I had a fall
Since I made that call, no more Saul, now I'm Paul, yeah!

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 those people say
Don't wanna walk away, walk away, walk away
Ah, Mandisa, come on!

How do I sense the tide that's rising?
(The tide that's rising, y'all)
Desensitizing me (whoo!)
From living in light of eternity (come on!)
Eternity (come on!)
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
(The tide that's rising, yeah)
It's hypnotizing me (whoo!)
From livin' in light of eternity (come on!), tell me
(Tell me) How do I sense the tide that's rising?
(Whoo!) Desensitizing me from livin' in light
From livin' in light of eternity

Lord what we gonna do?
We're relyin' on you
All eyes are on you Lord
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!
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 His 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
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
I could sing of Your love forever (Your love)
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!
