George Jones III - GREAT FULL Lyrics

I'm tryna walk in humility stay low still glow
But this pride be creepin' like a shadow in the meadow
I wanna be grateful count blessings no stressin'
But that need to be great got me second-guessin' my confessions
Start with a prayer Lord help me stay meek
But then I'm thinkin' 'bout the platform I be climbin' to the peak
Am I seekin' your face or just the crowd's applause?
Tryna balance between humble and breakin' all the laws
Pause-take a breath let me realign my mind
Got my hands raised high but my ego tryna climb
I say I'm grateful but I'm grindin' for the top spot
I say I'm servin' you but my hustle won't stop
I'm wrestlin' with my call destiny's my rival
They say the meek inherit but I'm livin' like survival
I'm tryna be thankful for the life that I'm livin'
But I'm fightin' for greatness like my name's already written
Switch the cadence up like I'm switchin' up the flow
Grateful for the gift but I'm pushin' for the glow
I know I gotta choose but the path ain't clear
Gratitude or greatness I be caught up in the fear
Fear of fallin' short fear of never reachin' heights
But the higher that I climb the more I lose sight
I'm tryna be grateful but my eyes on the prize
Tryna be great but I'm blinded by the lies
Flip it-what's the cost of the fame that I chase?
Is it worth losin' grace just to keep up the pace?
I'm torn between the two like I'm stuck in a cage
Grateful for the life but I'm burnin' with the rage
Maybe I'm too focused on the great that I miss
The beauty of the small the blessings in the midst
I'm strivin' for the crown but I'm losin' the throne
Tryna be grateful but I'm fightin' on my own
So I take a step back let the pride take a fall
Grateful for the journey even if I never ball
I'm tryna find the balance but it's hard to see the way
Greatness ain't the answer if my soul goes astray
Bring it back to the root where my heart should reside
Grateful for the grace let the greatness collide
With the love of the King that's where I find peace
The Lord is Great! So His Gospel I'll preach!
