Boasting - Lecrae, Anthony Evans

If this life has anything to gain at all

I’ll count it loss if I can’t hear you, feel you, cause I need you

Can’t walk this earth alone

I recognize I’m not my own, so before I fall

I need to hear you, feel you, as I live to make my boast in you alone

With every breath I take, with every heart beat

Sunrise and the moon lights in the dark street

Every glance, every dance, every note of a song

It’s all a gift undeserved that I shouldn’t have known

Every day that I lie, every moment I covet

I’m deserving to die, I’m just earning your judgment

I, without the cross there’s only condemnation

If Jesus wasn’t executed there’s no celebration

So in times that are good, in times that are bad

For any times that I’ve had it all I will be glad

And I will boast in the cross.

I’ll boast in my pains

I will boast in the sunshine, boast in his reign

What’s my life if it’s not praising you?

Another dollar in my bank account of vain pursuit

I do not count my life as any value or precious at all

Let me finish my race, let me answer my call

If this life has anything to gain at all

I’ll count it loss if I can’t hear you, feel you, cause I need you

Can’t walk this earth alone

I recognize I’m not my own, so before I fall

I need to hear you, feel you, as I live to make my boast in you alone

Tomorrow’s never promised, but it is we swear

Think we holding our own, just a fist full of air

God has never been obligated to give us life

If we fought for our rights, we’d be in hell tonight

Mere sinners owed nothing but a fierce hand

We never loved him, we pushed away his pierced hands

I rejected his love, grace, kindness, and mercy

Dying of thirst, yet, willing to die thirsty

Eternally worthy, how could I live for less?

Patiently you turned my heart away from selfishness

I volunteer for your sanctifying surgery

I know the Spirit’s purging me of everything that’s hurting me

Remove the veil from my darkened eyes

So now every morning I open your word and see the Son rise

I hope in nothin, boast in nothin, only in your suffering

I live to show your glory, dying to tell your story

If this life has anything to gain at all

I’ll count it loss if I can’t hear you, feel you, cause I need you

Can’t walk this earth alone

I recognize I’m not my own, so before I fall

I need to hear you, feel you, as I live to make my boast in you alone

Glory was solely meant for you

Doing what no one else could do

With All I have to give, (With all I have to Give)

I’ll use my life, I’ll use my lips.

(My Lips Yeaaah)

I’ll only glory in your Word.

What gift to me I don’t deserve

I’ll live in such a way that it reflects to you, my Praise

If this life has anything to gain at all

I’ll count it loss if I can’t hear you, feel you, cause I need you

Can’t walk this earth alone

I recognize I’m not my own, so before I fall

I need to hear you, feel you, as I live to make my boast in you alone
