Kingdom Over Crown

[Verse 1]
Used to measure my worth
By the names on the doors
By the numbers
By the noise
By the standing ovations
Chasing ladders and lies
Burned my hands on the rungs
Had a house full of trophies
And a heart that was vacant
[Chorus]
I don't need their crown
I got a kingdom
I don't need their stage
I got a call
I will lay this pride in the dust where it belongs
You are God
I am small
I choose faith over fame when the lights come on
Trust Your plan over all these promises they sell
I'd rather live for heaven than be a hero in hell
[Verse 2]
Now I'm learning to lose
What I can't keep anyway
Give the credit
Give the glory
Back where it belongs
If I'm nameless on earth
But I'm known in Your eyes
Let my story be a mirror
Not a monument of mine
[Chorus]
I don't need their crown
I got a kingdom
I don't need their stage
I got a call
I will lay this pride in the dust where it belongs
You are God
I am small
I choose faith over fame when the lights come on
Trust Your plan over all these promises they sell
I'd rather live for heaven than be a hero in hell
[Bridge]
When the world says "more"
You say "be still"
When they shout my name
Teach my heart to kneel
If the whole world claps
And I walk away from You
Then I lose
I lose
So I fix my eyes on truth (hey!)
[Chorus]
I don't need their crown
I got a kingdom
I don't need their stage
I got a call
I will lay this pride in the dust where it belongs
You are God
I am small
I choose faith over fame when the lights come on
Trust Your plan over all these promises they sell
I'd rather live for heaven than be a hero in hell
[Outro]
Kingdom over crown
Jesus
Keep me low
Kingdom over crown
Lead and I will go (oh-oh)
Kingdom over crown
You're the one I follow home

rock, Modern Christian rock; gritty palm-muted guitars in the verses under steady mid-tempo drums, male vocals with a raw edge. Chorus explodes with wide distorted power chords, stacked gang shouts on key lines, and a soaring lead melody. Bridge pulls back to toms, bass, and a reverb-soaked lead guitar before the final chorus comes in higher and harder, with a shouted outro tag and bright cymbal wash., world
