Beyond the Scoreboard
(Yeah,
check it out)
(One, two, for the Athletes in Faith) (Listen up now)
Lace the sneakers up,
step across the painted line Chasing after headlines,
running out of time Stat sheets and box scores stacked up to
the roof Whole arena cheering like they need another proof What's the
whole world gained if you lose your inner soul?
Mark eight thirty-six, that's the only real goal When the whistle blows
cold and the bleachers clear away My foundation stands firm in the
words He spoke today
Pass the mic, let me break it down right!
I don't grind for the flash or the vanity in sight Colossians
three twenty-three, work with all your might For the Lord,
not for men, walking upright in the light!
Trophies collect dust, gold medals fade to rust Put your trust in
the flesh and it crumbles into dust I play with pure joy
'cause my debt has been cleared No fear in my step when
the King is revered!
I’m more than my performance
More than what I’ve done
More than every victory
More than every one I’ve won
My worth is not a scoreboard
My name is not my fame
I was made for something greater
And Jesus knows my name
Back on the blacktop,
quiet when the evening falls No cameras flashing,
no echoes through the halls
Reminded who gave me the breath inside my chest Grace covers every
flaw, in His peace I find rest I don't play to earn
affection, love was settled at the cross Every highlight reel is trivial
compared to worldly loss Stand rooted like an oak tree planted by
the stream Serving higher purpose,
waking from the fleeting dream
Tell 'em twice so they catch it in the back!
God gave the speed and the strength on the track!
Inheritance eternal, that's Colossians in effect Pay respect to the Maker,
not the podium and check (Ha!)
Win or lose, fourth quarter,
yeah we giving Him the praise Walking in the truth for the
number of my days Not a product of the hype or the
chatter on the screen Living for the Lord,
keeping every motive clean!
I’m more than my performance
More than what I’ve done
More than every victory
More than every one I’ve won
My worth is not a scoreboard
My name is not my fame
I was made for something greater
And Jesus knows my name
(He knows my name,
yeah) (Athletes in Faith) (Keep your
eyes
on the prize) (More than
the game)
