For whom do I live?
What accolades do I long for?
The earth?
Is the earth my queen?
Do I live to please her and her subjects?
Do I perform for applause?
Do I write to get published?
Do I sing for a record deal?
Do I design for a label?
Do I paint for fame? Fortune?
Do I dance for the spotlight?
Do I speak to be spoken about?
Do I live for her?
Earth?
No, no.
I have received a higher calling
From a great King
And I live for Him
Beyond the applause
I live for Him
