Boasting
[Chorus – Anthony Evans]If this life has anything to gain at allI count it lost if I can’t hear you, feel you, ‘cause I need youCan’t walk this earth aloneI recognize I am not my own, so before I fallI need to hear you, feel you, as I live to make my boast in you alone
[Verse 1 – Lecrae]With every breath I take, with every heart beat,Sunrise and the moon lights in the dark streetEvery glance, every dance, every note of a songIt’s all a gift undeserved that I shouldn’t have knownEvery day that I lie, every moment I covetI’m deserving to die, I’m just earning your judgmentAh, without the cross there’s only condemnationIf Jesus wasn’t executed there’s no celebrationSo in times that are good, in times that are badFor any times that I’ve had at all I will be gladAnd I will boast in the cross, I boast in my painsI will boast in the sunshine, boast in his reignWhat’s my life if it’s not praising youAnother dollar in my bank account of vain pursuitI do not count my life as any value or precious at allLet me finish my race, let me answer my call
[Chorus – Anthony Evans]If this life has anything to gain at allI count it lost if I can’t hear you, feel you, ‘cause I need youCan’t walk this earth aloneI recognize I am not my own, so before I fallI need to hear you, feel you, as I live to make my boast in you alone
[Verse 2 – Lecrae]Tomorrow’s never promised, but it is we swearThink we holding our own, just a fist full of airGod has never been obligated to give us lifeIf we fought for our rights, we’d be in hell tonightMere sinners own nothing but a fierce handWe never loved him, we pushed away his pierced handsI rejected his love, grace, kindness, and mercyDying of thirst, yet willing to die thirstyEternally worthy, how could I live for less?Patiently you turn my heart away from selfishnessI volunteer for your sanctifying surgeryI know the Spirit’s purging me of everything that’s hurting meRemove the veil from my darkened eyesSo now every morning I open your Word and see the sunriseI hope in nothing, boast in nothing, only in your sufferingI live to show your glory, dying to tell your story
[Chorus – Anthony Evans]If this life has anything to gain at allI count it lost if I can’t hear you, feel you, ‘cause I need youCan’t walk this earth aloneI recognize I am not my own, so before I fallI need to hear you, feel you, as I live to make my boast in you alone
[Bridge – Anthony Evans]Glory was solely meant for youDoing what no one else could doWith all I have to giveI’ll use my life, I’ll use my lipsI’ll only glory in your WordWhat gift to me I don’t deserveI’ll live in such a way that it reflects to you my-my praise …
[Chorus – Anthony Evans]If this life has anything to gain at allI count it lost if I can’t hear you, feel you, ‘cause I need youCan’t walk this earth aloneI recognize I am not my own, so before I fallI need to hear you, feel you, as I live to make my boast in you alone
