Lose My Soul - Afterparty Interlude

Lyrics

Man I wanna tell y'all something man
 Man I'm not gonna let these material things get in my way y'all
 I'm trying to get somewhere
 I'm trying to get somewhere that's real and pure and true and eternal
 Toby can you do it yo boy
 Let's 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'm gonna be a daddy who's in the mix
 And I'm gonna 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 its a feast for the eyes - a low blow to purpose
 And I'm a little kid at a three ring circus
 I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
 Don't wanna walk away let me hear the people say
 (I like that there)
 I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
 Don't wanna walk away let me hear the people say
 "Mr. Franklin, step up to the mic sir."
 "Check it out."
 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
 "Yup"
 I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
 Don't wanna walk away (I like this!) let me hear the people say
 I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
 Don't wanna walk away let me hear the people say
 Don't wanna walk away, walk away, walk away
 "Mandisa, come on!"
 How do I sense the tide that's rising?
 Desensitizing me from living in light of eternity, eternity
 (Watch me now)
 How do I sense the tide that's rising?
 (The tide is rising y'all)
 It's hypnotizing me from living in light of eternity, tell me
 How do I sense the tide that's rising?
 Desensitizing me (It's makin' me drown) from living in light
 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
 All eyes are on you Jesus
 I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul
 Light a candle y'all!
 Lift it high y'all, come on!
 I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul
 "No profit in gainin' the whole word and lose your soul, Yes sir"
 I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul
 "Every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess"
 This is my honesty, father won't you cover me.
 "Come on!"
 I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul
 "Lift 'em up y'all, lift 'em up!"
 Don't wanna walk away, and 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.
 "Come on!"
 Lord forgive us when we get consumed
 By the things of this world that fight for our love
 (Yes Lord) and our passion (Yes Lord)
 As our eyes are open wide and on you (Talk to 'em)
 Grant us the privilege of your world view (Yes)
 And may your kingdom be
 What wakes us up, and lays us down
 Hallelujah, hallelujah
 (No, don't let me lose my soul)
