Every day of my life, pride and I fight a war.
God supplies me a little, but I grab for more
tempted by popularity, glory, and gold
I place myself in the spotlight,
and shove God out the door
but the strongest desire of my heart is to die
and no longer preach one thing and then live a lie
I must humbly submit myself daily to Christ
turn the spotlight away and make this my heart's cry
when i pass through may my name be forgot
may the words that I spoke be as though i had not
I will plan every step so that in all that i do
Jesus none would see me but see through me to you
standing right in the front I attempt to display
how God's wisely picked me to speak for Him here today
yet self-appointed to be the Spirit to you
Though the Lord may be speaking my pride's in the way
in the call to preach boldly so many are stuck
taking stand after stand and not learning to duck
and fall flat on our faces so Jesus can save
well if he wasnt God, he would roll in his grave
no one else in my life is to blame
when my selfish desire is found courting with fame
to be quickly forgotten's my aim
one nameless servant to that unforgettable name
Jesus who came.
