Nichole Nordeman - Not To Us Lyrics

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
