TobyMac - Love My Soul Lyrics

Man, I wanna tell you all something, man
Man I'm not gonna let these material things
Get in my way, y'll
I'm trying to get somewhere
I'm trying to get somewhere
That's real and pure and true and eternal
Toby can you go with your 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'ma be a daddy whose in the mix
And I'm 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 (no)

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 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 (uh)
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 want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul
Don't wanna walk away, 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)

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

Lord what we gonna do? (I don't want to gain the whole world)
We're relying on you (and lose my soul)
All eyes are on you Lord
All eyes are on you (all eyes are on you Jesus)

I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul
(Light a candle y'all, lift it high y'all, come on)

I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul
(Don't let me lose my soul, my soul)
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul
(This is my honesty, Father, won't you cover me?)
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul
(Don't wanna walk away, and all His people say)
I don't want to 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
Grant us the privilege of your world view
And may your kingdom be, what wakes us up, and lays us down

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
(We don't wanna lose our soul)
(No, don't wanna lose my soul)

Hey excuse me
I'm looking for some dude named Toby
Ha ha, yeah, last door on the left, you'll hear it
Thanks
No problem

Don't let me lose my soul
I never wanna walk away
I don't wanna lose my soul
No, no, no
Don't let me, don't let me, lose my soul
I don't wanna walk away, ooh-ohh
Don't ever wanna walk away
No, no, no, no no
Don't let me , don't let me lose my way, whoa-ay
Don't let me lose my soul
I'm never gonna walk away
