45 'n countin'---single

[Verse One] Forty-five songs 'n countin' Doin' pretty well for Only about four months On this platform Some days I've got those banger lines Some days I'm like: "I guess that's fine" So I publish it With a sinking feeling That I didn't give it all I've got Should I have? Probly not [Pre-Chorus] It's not just about the listeners Nor is it about the noise But it's for the God that I serve Am I writing things He'd write? Or just playing with grown-up toys? [Chorus] If every line sends a message Then why am I wasting time? Writing songs about elephants It might sound cool, but that's not life I want quality, not quantity To point people to Christ Lord I've got 45 'n countin' Help me use it right [Verse Two] 45 followers 'n growin' At least I think they are Father if they're watching me I want them to see God Don't let the social pressure Have me publish things with flaws If I give you all the glory For you the curtains fall [Pre-Chorus] It's not just about the listeners Nor is it about the noise But it's for the God that I serve Am I writing things He'd write? Or just playing with grown-up toys? [Chorus] If every line sends a message Then why am I wasting time? Writing songs about elephants It might sound cool, but that's not life I want quality, not quantity To point people to Christ Lord I've got 45 'n countin' Help me use it right [Bridge] I write about following You Feet in Your Footsteps Then things outside of Your tune It's To A Fault, and it's not good Oh God I'll remove What doesn't worship You What doesn't exalt You [Chorus] If every line sends a message Then why am I wasting time? Writing songs about elephants It might sound cool, but that's not life I want quality, not quantity To point people to Christ Lord I've got 45 'n countin' Help me use it right [Verse Three] I'm not sayin' I can't write somethin' That's not exactly praise But the whole of my songs Should point to the God who saves And if it's only 'bout the world And hints Jesus in the bridge Then is that really gospel Or is that only darkness With dimmed down light instilled? [Outro] 45, 44, 43, 42 The songs will stay Only if they point to You [Instrumental Outro]
