lirik lagu believin' stephen - who gets the glory?

[intro]
“for they loved the glory that comes from men more than the glory that comes from god”
john 12:43
we all gotta check our motives, man, including myself
who’s getting the glory and shine when we make music?
is it us, or is it god, yo?

[verse 1]
we love the praise of men more than the praise of god
we say we praise him but really want a break from god
cause we’re depraved and flawed, our ways are wrong, you think my saying’s odd
but then we claim church is boring and it’s way too long
but we rarely say that when the game is on
and we rarely say that about some babes in thongs
could it be that your refusal to stand
for god’s glory is ’cause you want the approval of man?
and if you are distinct, you’ll be losing some fans
’cause they might not buy your product, nor be choosing your brand
the world hates christ plus the news of his plan
because it loves sin, and they doin’ their thang! (uh)
they want a christ that allows them to be
straight up stuck in their sin and live how they may please
they don’t want a christ who got rowdy decrees
and they don’t want a christ that makes them bow to their knees
they want a christ who is down with their st–z
but tell ’em “deny self” and they’ll bounce and they’ll flee
loving comfort and pleasure more than they loving god
it’s a narrow way, road to destruction is broad
don’t be independent, be dependent, heed the lesson
he’s perfection, flee depression whenever i seek his presence
his glory he will not give to no other
his glory is the highest we have to go under
let’s be honest, if you’re pompous, he could off us
in a second, and he wants us to be modest and not godless
when approaching god modesty is required
ask nadab and abihu, they got caught up in the fire
it’s clear a prideful heart is not what god desires
we need to be humble like the prophets and messiah
when you get the props does he get any credit?
or do you say forget it, you’re tremendous, he’s neglected

[hook]
who gets the glory when you’re spittin’ your bars?
who gets the glory are you lifting up god?
who gets the glory when you’re rippin’ it hard?
do you give it to yourself or do you give it god?
[x2]

[verse 2]
we live this life for the likes and the follows
and, uh, we live this life like there is no tomorrow
despite the plight of fallen earth, and the strife and the sorrow
this life isn’t ours, nah, this life, it is borrowed
we want the props and the recognition
sometimes we even stop and we forget we are christian
when our album drops, we’re like, “you better listen”
say it isn’t hot though, then we’re steady dissin’
look at our thoughts, you’ll see we’re wretched sinning
we want our spots on charts and television
i don’t wanna argue whether god is mentioned
but we gotta ask ourselves, what’s our hearts’ intentions
no matter the topic that we start addressing
does god get the glory? that’s the obvious question
we gotta ask what’s the motive of our songs
are we willing to change if we notice that it’s wrong?
who gets the glory at our shows when we go on?
who gets the glory when we’re flowin’ all night long?
what’s scary is even if christ is our focus
we trample his glory if in our lives it is bogus
we trample his glory if we get self-righteous
and look down on others, pharisees fell like this
but we trample his glory if we’re ashamed of his name
and the chase for more fame is straight up making us change
so i state and proclaim that our savior does reign
god deserves the glory and he’s made it so plain
no matter your content, examine yourselves
you care about god or just managing sales?

no matter your content, examine yourselves
you care about god or just managing sales?
no matter your content, examine yourselves
you care about god or just managing sales?

[scratches]
