Verse 1
We don’t preach behind pulpits
Most days we preach with our hands
Steel-toed boots on concrete floors
Just tryin’ to be good women and men
Swingin’ hammers, turnin’ wrenches
Keepin’ wheels and lights on
At the end of the day it ain’t about the praise
It’s about who the work points on
Verse 2
It’s easy say, “Look what I fixed”
“Look how fast I came through”
Pride creeps in real quiet
Starts soundin’ like truth
Ain’t nothin’ wrong with doin’ good work
Or takin’ care in what you do
But if I’m the hero in the story
Lord, I missed the cue
Chorus
Ain’t about lookin’ good
Ain’t about lookin’ strong
It’s who gets the glory
When the job’s all done
Every breath, every move
Every long hard shift
Let my life say one thing
Look at what God did
Verse 3
Whether eatin’ or drinkin’
Or clockin’ another mile
Dirty hands, tired shoulders
Wearin’ a worn-out smile
Small jobs, thankless moments
On roads nobody sees
God ain’t chasin’ spotlights
He’s lookin’ for honesty
Chorus
Ain’t about lookin’ good
Ain’t about lookin’ tough
It’s who gets the credit
When it’s more than enough
Every word, every move
Every hard-earned win
Let my life say one thing
Look at what God did
Rap / Spoken Funk Break (tight pocket)
They watch how you move when the pressure’s on
How you talk ‘bout folks when the boss is gone
How you own your mess, how you make it right
How you help somebody with no spotlight
Light don’t brag, it just breaks the dark
Grace shows up when the ego parks
If they see somethin’ steady, somethin’ real in him
That ain’t my shine, that’s God workin’ in
Bridge (Gospel lift)
Let it shine, not for my name
Let it point past me
If they see the work, let ‘em see the Source
Let ‘em see what You see
Final Chorus (Funked up, repeatable)
Ain’t about lookin’ good
Ain’t about lookin’ right
It’s who gets the glory
In the middle of the grind
Every breath, every move
Every long hard shift
Let my life say one thing
Look at what God did
Outro (Slow, bluesy)
Before I start the engine
Before I pick up tools
Let my work preach louder
Than my mouth ever could
When they see my life
Let it point where it should
Don’t look at me
Look at what God did
