WHAT'S KEEPING ME FROM GIVING GOD THE GLORY

I've allowed the world and what society 
Has to say 
To cause me to have doubts 
About my God Yahweh 
I've forgotten the sacrifice 
And the life that was given 
Which allowed me to be victorious 
And sinlessly living 

Was keeping me from giving 
God the glory 
What has me forgetting
All he's done for me 

I had dismissed the sacred blood that on 
Mount Calvary with shed 
I had denounce the daily bread that I 
Was once fed 
I don't want to be viewed as being spiritually 
Estranged 
But I've let society have my priorities 
Become rearranged 

Was keeping me from giving 
God the glory 
What has me forgetting? 
All he's done for me 

In my heart I now understand 
And in my mind I now comprehend 
That I shouldn't be controlled nor dictated 
By mere Men 
And I remember that my father 
And my creator 
Loves me and wants me 
To be even greater 
So today I vowed to meditate 
Day and night 
On his holy scriptures and follow 
His guiding light

So what's keeping me from giving
God all the glory 
What has me forgetting?
All he's done for me

For each morning I now wake up 
I will give God all the praise 
For allowing me to see 
The sunrise each new day 
On Christ, the solid Rock 
And now firmly stand
No more clay feet 
No more listening to man 

My foundation's been restored 
My testimony renewed 
I now give God all the glory 
And all that he is due 

For nothing is no longer keeping me 
From giving God the glory 
And nothing will ever let me forget 
All he's done for me
