we want it all, or so we say,
but what gets lost along the way?
when we gain riches, fame,
our viewpoints completely rearrange.
how can we add up what it cost?
how do we fathom what is lost?
what is the price of popularity?
is it worth His sincerity?
is this the way He taught us to live,
possibly losing all He gives?
still, the Son gave His all,
paid the price, took the fall.
for all He gave, what'd He earn?
what did we choose to give in return?
so I'll give my everything,
every word I write, each note I sing
not for riches and not for fame,
I'll give to glorify His worthy Name.
