lyrics

I was sitting on the passenger side,
looking out the window.
And for every evergreen that passed by,
I felt the envy grow.
I said to myself, I need a new mind.
I’m getting eaten alive.
And every time I hear that covetous cry,
I want that voice to die.

Take all you want, take all you want, I’m not my own.
(Take all you want, take all you want, I’m not my own)
Take all you want, take all you want, I’m not my own.
(Take all you want, take all you want, I’m not my own)
Servant of all, servant of all, make me like you.
(Servant of all, servant of all, make me like you)
Servant of all, servant of all, make me like you.
(Servant of all, servant of all, make me like you)

Walking down West Peachtree Street, looking down at my shoes.
Surrounded by all of my colleagues’ great feats, I felt like such a lose—r.

I prayed to the Lord,

“I want to be meek,
but I don’t want to be a fool!
I know that nothing in this world I will keep,
but will that wisdom rule
my heart?”

I don’t want to store, don’t want to store my treasure here.
(I don’t want to store, don’t want to store my treasure here)
I don’t want to store, don’t want to store my treasure here.
(I don’t want to store, don’t want to store my treasure here)

Give me empathy, patience, kindness, and godly fear.
