( More Than Just My Lips )
(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)
(Forcefully spoken
Matthew chapter 15
8 This people draweth near unto me with their mouth, and honoreth me with the lips, but their heart is far off from me.
9 But in vain they worship me, teaching for doctrines, men’s precepts.)
( Verse 1 )
Sunday morning, church bell rings,
Voices rise while the choir sings.
But You see deeper than a song,
You know where my heart belongs.
( Chorus )
Lord, don’t let me honor You with lips alone,
While my heart drifts away like a rolling stone.
I want my worship to be real and true,
More than just words — let it be my life for You.
( Verse 2 )
Man-made rules can’t save my soul,
Empty traditions won’t make me whole.
But mercy flows from Calvary’s hill,
And grace is greater than the letter of the will.
( Chorus )
Lord, don’t let me honor You with lips alone,
While my heart drifts away like a rolling stone.
I want my worship to be real and true,
More than just words — let it be my life for You.
( Bridge )
Take my hands and guide my ways,
Take my voice and make it praise.
Every breath I breathe, every step I take,
Let it all be done for Your holy Name’s sake.
(Final Chorus / Outro )
No, I won’t just honor You with lips alone,
My heart is Yours, it’s Your rightful home.
Through trials and valleys, my song will be,
A country prayer of love and honesty.
