Tonart: C major•
Verse 1
Ab
Be Thou exalted over my reputation
'Cause applause is a poor form
Verse 2
of soul medication
Ab
And I've tried it for years but
my symptoms remain
Still fretting the day that they'll misplace
my name
Still selling my soul for American
fame
Treating the promotion of Jesus
like a well oiled machine
Advancing His kingdom just to
snag some acclaim
Verse 3
Ab
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?
Verse 4
Ab
But see, here's where You turn
this poem on it's head
'Cause the greatest among
us came as servant instead
And You humbled Yourself
to the point of Your death
Apparently love for the Father's
glory runs red
Verse 5
Ab
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
