My actions, Lord, should build Your name, Instead they labor for my fame. While outwardly I bless the Son, I seek man’s praise for what I’ve done.

Chorus: Lord, this glory-seeking hunger tries To pull my heart from You: Such a dark, unwelcome guest who hides In everything I do. But Your grace remains and pleads for me: “Destroy this enemy!” For the cross still stands And meets my deepest need.

This heart should worship You alone; Instead to trifles it is prone. My tears are drawn by earthly things But flee when with the saints I sing.

My words should tell of all the grace You've shown in saving me by faith; Instead I use my tongue to spin A web to minimize my sin.
