Lyrics Not To Us - Nichole Nordeman, Plumb

Not To Us

All the toil, all in vain
Every image of ourselves that we create
Every dream, built on sand
Every castle slips away when tides come in
Let us not imagine
That we might have a hand in where the wind blows
Where grace goes
Let not any passion
Be for kingdoms we have fashioned
In our own name
For our own fame
Not to us, not to us
But to Your name be glory
To Your name be glory
Not to us, not to us
But to Your name be glory
To Your name!
Every beat, every breath
Every broken road and every ordered step
Every loss, every gain
Every spotlight, every shadow
Yours the same
So let us not be fooled
And let us not be disillusioned
Let our eyes see You clearly
Not to us, not to us
But to Your name be glory
To Your name be glory
Not to us, not to us
But to Your name be glory
To Your name!
Anything that’s good
Anything that’s true
Let it point to You
Let it point to You!
Not to us, not to us
But to Your name be glory
To Your name!
No walls, no greed
No color, no creed
No right, no left
All You, no less!
Not to us, not to us
But to Your name be glory
To Your name be glory
Not to us, not to us
But to Your name be glory
To Your name
Anything that’s good
Anything that’s true
Let it point to You
Let it point to You!
Not to us, not to us
But to Your name be glory
To Your name
