[Verse]
DFather God, I am clay in Your hands,
Help me to staAy that way through all life's demands,
'Cause they Gchip and they nag and they pull at me,
and every liAttle thing I make up my mind to be.
Like ID'm gonna be a daddy who's in the mix,
And IA'm gonna be a husband who stays legit.
And I prGay that I'm an artist to rise above,
The rAoad that is wide and filled with self love.
DEverything that I see draws me, 
though it'As only in you that I can truly see 
that it's a fGeast full of eyes - a low blow to purpose.
And I'm a Alittle kid at a three-ring circus.
[Chorus]
DI don't wanna gain the wAhole world and lose my soulEm!
Don't wanna walk away, Glet me hear the people say.
DI don't wanna gain the wAhole world and lose my soulEm!
Don't wanna walk away, Glet me hear the people say.

DThe paparazzi flashes and that they think that it's you, 
but tAhey don't know that who you are is not what you do.
GTrue, we get it twisted when we peak at the charts, 
yo Abefore we part from the start where's your heart? 
you a Dpimp, hustler? Tell me what's your title.
AAmerica has no more stores now we call them idols, yGou sit idle, 
While we teach prosperity, 
The fAirst thing to prosper should be inside of me. We're Dfree!
Not because of 22's on the range, 
But CAhrist came in range, we said yes, now we changed.
GNot the same even though I made a fall, 
Asince I got the call, no more Saul, now I'm Paul.
[Chorus]
DI don't wanna gain the wAhole world! and lose my soulEm!
Don't wanna walk away, Glet me hear the people say.
DI don't wanna gain the wAhole world! and lose my soulEm!
Don't wanna walk away, Glet me hear the people say.

The story behind the song

"Lose My Soul" speaks to the deep desire to stay true to one's spiritual path amidst worldly temptations. It’s a prayer to remain as clay in God's hands, aspiring to rise above distractions rather than gaining everything and losing one's essence. The song reflects a personal transformation, like Saul becoming Paul, after receiving a call to a higher purpose. From TobyMac's 2007 album Portable Sounds, this track captures a powerful commitment to faith. It's a song that calls for introspection, reminding us to prioritize what truly matters.

Capo: 1

[Verse]

Father God, I am clay in Your hands,

Help me to stay that way through all life's demands,

'Cause they chip and they nag and they pull at me,

and every little thing I make up my mind to be.

Like I'm gonna be a daddy who's in the mix,

And I'm gonna be a husband who stays legit.

And I pray that I'm an artist to rise above,

The road that is wide and filled with self love.

Everything that I see draws me,

though it's only in you that I can truly see

that it's a feast full of eyes - a low blow to purpose.

And I'm a little kid at a three-ring circus.

[Chorus]

D A Em

I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul!

Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.

D A Em

I don't wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul!

Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.

[Verse 2]

The paparazzi flashes and that they think that it's you,

but they don't know that who you are is not what you do.

True, we get it twisted when we peak at the charts,

yo before we part from the start where's your heart?

you a pimp, hustler? Tell me what's your title.

A G

America has no more stores now we call them idols, you sit idle,

While we teach prosperity,

A D

The first thing to prosper should be inside of me. We're free!

Not because of 22's on the range,

But Christ came in range, we said yes, now we changed.

Not the same even though I made a fall,

since I got the call, no more Saul, now I'm Paul.

[Chorus]

D A Em

I don't wanna gain the whole world! and lose my soul!

Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.

D A Em

I don't wanna gain the whole world! and lose my soul!

Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
