" More Than Just My Lips"

( 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.
