Hook
I know that You love me
Do I really love You?
What would take for me to trade You away?
How can I serve You if my heart's divided
Between loving You and loving the world?
Oh, where's my allegiance?
Tried to start with a clever line but I'm going blank
So pass the mic I'll just open fire like army tanks
I'm an American who's not afraid of breaking ranks
Crank it up I'm sharing my heart, if you're listening, thanks
Let's get this out the way, I love Jesus
Im trying hard see others the way He sees us
I aim to start my days by praying and reading His Word
Like Mali Music and Crae, I wanna tell the world
And I wanna say that's what I'm doing
That the kingdom of heaven is all I'm pursuing
That I hunger for scripture and it's all I'm consuming
But that'd be lying - see I'm always moving
At times closer to God, but other times away
I feel the tug of the world, looking to find a way
To take control of my heart, don't wanna go astray
I'm torn inside and all I know to do is pray
The world's looking so tasty
I think I'll take a bite, no wait, maybe
It's like I'm unsure of what I want
My conscience saying one thing
But my flesh is undermining my convictions
I know in God I can be freed of these addictions
But do I really want to?
If I ask God to be in my heart
But keep it open to others I guess there's still
A part of me that's infatuated by selfish desires
I keep on going to church cuz I'm afraid of the fires
God says if I'm lukewarm, not much I can do for Him
I'll be like old gum and He'll spit me out
A newborn child in the faith has to learn to surrender everything
And I'm still holding onto this world instead of Heaven's King
God I know You can change me, show me where to start
Cuz like John Mayer I can't love You with half of my heart
