Jimmy Needham - Nightlights
@ 活在當下 制作
Be Thou exalted over my reputation
‘Cause applause is a poor form of soul medication
And Ive tried it for years but my symptoms remain
Still fretting the day that theyll misplace my name
Still selling my soul for American fame
Treating the promotion of Jesus like a well oiled machine
Adcing His kingdom just to snag some acclaim
Now, Im both comforted and haunted that it isnt just me though
I see a nation of people needing to feed their own egos
Parading status like steeples
Do we not know its evil to love ourselves more than both God
and His people?
But see, heres where you turn this poem on its head
‘Cause the greatest among us came as sert instead
And You humbled Yourself to the point of Your death
Apparently love for the Fathers glory runs red
So friends, will we point to the Son till our own flames grow dim?
Will our bright lights become merely nightlights near Him?
Words echo once, let them echo again
Be Thou exalted over my reputation
