‘Cause applause is a poor form of soul medication
And I've tried it for years but my symptoms remain

I see a nation of people needing to feed their own egos
Parading status like steeples
Do we not know it's evil to love ourselves more than both God
and His people?
But see, here's where you turn this poem on it's head
‘Cause the greatest among us came as sert instead
And You humbled Yourself to the point of Your death
Apparently love for the Father's glory runs red
So friends, will we point t

Be Thou Near to Me歌词
