Nightlights Lyrics

[00:01.33]	Be Thou exalted over my reputation
[00:06.36]	‘Cause applause is a poor form of soul medication
[00:11.36]	And I’ve tried it for years but my symptoms remain
[00:17.43]	Still fretting the day that they’ll misplace my name
[00:20.31]	Still selling my soul for American fame
[00:23.60]	Treating the promotion of Jesus like a well oiled machine
[00:26.70]	Advancing His kingdom just to snag some acclaim
[00:34.68]	Now, I’m both comforted and haunted that it isn’t just me though
[00:41.88]	I see a nation of people needing to feed their own egos
[00:45.41]	Parading status like steeples
[00:48.18]	Do we not know it’s evil to love ourselves more than both God
[00:52.71]	and His people?
[00:54.33]
[00:57.46]	But see, here’s where you turn this poem on it’s head
[01:05.18]	‘Cause the greatest among us came as servant instead
[01:11.12]	And You humbled Yourself to the point of Your death
[01:17.11]	Apparently love for the Father’s glory runs red
[01:24.25]	So friends, will we point to the Son till our own flames grow dim?
[01:29.74]	Will our bright lights become merely nightlights near Him?
[01:35.55]	Words echo once, let them echo again
[01:41.89]	Be Thou exalted over my reputation
[01:46.32]
