The Show

It started when we told them

That worship's not a show

Then we put on a show

And they were too impressed to notice

We didn't know then

How far this thing would fall

Now we've redefined it all

Till we've forgotten what a show is

Now we're up on the stage with our hand in the air

The crowd is so into it's only fair

We'll give you some glory, maybe you can share

A little with us

Celebrity wasn't our goal at the start

But they set us so high and bright in the dark

At first, we were lighthouses, but now we are stars

Oh, God, forgive us

Because we've got a lot of, he must increase in our songs

But all of our I must decrease is gone

And the money made it harder

And we did the best we could

But when they love you, it feels good

And we just couldn't resist it

So we took it even farther

Started chasing after fame

And when we lifted up your name

Our name got lifted with it

We had good intentions, but it was no use

We couldn't be shepherds and superstars too

In order to move forward, we had to choose

And who could blame us

Celebrity wasn't our goal at the start

We just wanted people to see who you are

But getting ourselves out of the way is hard

When we're famous

Because we've got a lot of, he must increase in our songs

But all of our I must decrease is gone

Celebrity wasn't our goal at the start

But the pressure was high, and we had to work hard

What's right for the church isn't to rise up the charts

Serving two masters has torn us apart

And we're still singing

He must increase

And we believe it's true

But so hard not to increase too

Because we've got a lot of, he must increase in our songs

But all of our I must decrease is gone
