Jimmy Needham - Nightlights Lyrics
Be Thou exalted over my reputation
'Cause applause is a poor form of soul medication
And I've tried it for years but my symptoms remain
Still fretting the day that they'll misplace my name
Treating the promotion of Jesus like a well oiled machine
Advancing His kingdom just to snag some acclaim
Now, I'm both comforted and haunted that it isn't just me though
I see a nation of people needing to feed their own egos
Parading status like steeples
Do we not know it's evil to love ourselves
More than both God and His people?
But see, here's where You turn this poem on it's head
And You humbled Yourself to the point of Your death
Apparently love for the Father's glory runs red
So friends, will we point to the Son till our own flames grow dim?
Will our bright lights become merely night-lights near Him?
Words echo once, let them echo again
Be Thou exalted over my reputation

Dude,
This is the real deal bro, thank you for the words that God has given you, for he knew you before you were born. Let his spirit remain over you, so that you may continue to spread the Good "Gossip Tale" among his Beloved. Always be free to tell the overflow of your heart because God has given it to you as a gift.
Your name is in the book and I will see you again....By the sweet to the taste, Grace, of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.....Amen
I truly believe that, God, himself knows you on a personal level. Keep it real Homie. We appreciate it out her in Neverland.
