# I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT [INTRO — punchy live drums, bouncy bass, distorted guitar stabs, electronic percussion, vocal chops] [MALE VOCAL — rhythmic, confident] Everybody wants the top. Jesus said— Look down. [VERSE 1 — upbeat rap-singing] I wanna be somebody I wanna make a name I wanna get the credit I wanna win the game I wanna walk in the room And everybody knows I wanna hear my name Everywhere that the story goes But Jesus took a child And put him by His side While His disciples argued About who was greatest in the eyes And He said, [BEAT CUT] The one who makes himself the least... [DRUM HIT] ...is the greatest. [PRE-CHORUS — building] So take my ambition Take my need to be seen Teach me the kind of greatness That looks like serving quietly [CHORUS — huge, bouncy, gang vocals] I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT I JUST NEED TO BE YOURS I DON'T NEED THE SPOTLIGHT I DON'T NEED THE APPLAUSE IF I'M THE ONE SERVING WHEN NOBODY KNOWS MY NAME THAT'S OKAY THAT'S OKAY I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT I JUST NEED TO STAY HUMBLE WHEN THE WORLD SAYS "CLIMB" TEACH MY HEART TO LOWER 'CAUSE THE KINGDOM LOOKS DIFFERENT THAN THE KINGDOMS THAT I KNOW I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT I JUST NEED TO BE YOURS [VERSE 2 — rhythmic, more energetic] Job had everything Then everything was gone One report after another Till there was nothing left to hold on And he tore his robe And he fell down low But even in the ashes He still knew where to go The Lord gave The Lord takes Still blessed be His name Faith isn't proven When everything goes my way It's what remains When everything changes [PRE-CHORUS — rising] So when I lose the status When I lose control When I don't get the answer I've been begging You for Don't let my worship Depend on what I own Don't let my faith Depend on how I feel [CHORUS — bigger] I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT I JUST NEED TO BE YOURS I DON'T NEED THE SPOTLIGHT I DON'T NEED THE APPLAUSE IF I'M THE ONE SERVING WHEN NOBODY KNOWS MY NAME THAT'S OKAY THAT'S OKAY I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT I JUST NEED TO STAY HUMBLE WHEN THE WORLD SAYS "CLIMB" TEACH MY HEART TO LOWER 'CAUSE THE KINGDOM LOOKS DIFFERENT THAN THE KINGDOMS THAT I KNOW I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT I JUST NEED TO BE YOURS [BRIDGE — beat drops, funky bass, handclaps] [MALE VOCAL — conversational] I don't need the biggest platform. I don't need the loudest voice. I don't need everybody To know I made the right choice. If I can love somebody Who can give me nothing back... If I can serve somebody And never get a clap... Then maybe I'm finally learning What Your kingdom's all about. [BUILD] Less of me. More of You. Less of me. More of You. [BREAKDOWN — call and response] WHO'S THE GREATEST? JESUS! WHO'S THE KING? JESUS! WHO GETS THE GLORY? JESUS! WHO AM I SERVING? JESUS! [DRUM HIT] I DON'T NEED THE CROWN! I'VE GOT THE KING! [FINAL CHORUS — massive, joyful] I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT I JUST NEED TO BE YOURS I DON'T NEED THE SPOTLIGHT I DON'T NEED THE APPLAUSE IF I'M THE ONE SERVING WHEN NOBODY KNOWS MY NAME THAT'S OKAY THAT'S OKAY I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT I JUST NEED TO STAY HUMBLE WHEN THE WORLD SAYS "CLIMB" TEACH MY HEART TO LOWER 'CAUSE THE KINGDOM LOOKS DIFFERENT THAN THE KINGDOMS THAT I KNOW I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT I JUST NEED TO BE YOURS [FINAL TAG — gang vocals] LESS OF ME! MORE OF YOU! LESS OF ME! MORE OF YOU! I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT! I JUST NEED TO BE YOURS! [OUTRO — guitar riff and bouncing bass fade] [MALE VOCAL — spoken] The world can keep the spotlight. Give me Jesus. [FINAL LINE] That's enough.
