Chorus / Description : The song Not What You See by Kutless is a biblical reference to the concept of servanthood. It emphasizes the importance of humility and being a servant to others, inspired by the teachings of Jesus in the Bible, particularly in Mark 10:43-45. The lyrics remind us that true greatness is found in serving others, rather than seeking personal recognition or superiority.
Do you feel the tensions rise
Do you know why we always fight
To be better, better than you
And you better than me
I am not what you see, oh no
Not much more than a slave I wish to be
I am not what you see
Not much more a slave I should be
Nothing more, a slave I will be
How could I ever think to be more
than the one who created me
I watched him do all that he said, his words were
"Be a servant to all"
I am not what you see, oh no
Not much more than a slave I wish to be
I am not what you see
Not much more a slave I should be
Nothing more, a slave I will be
Only one deserves this exaltation
Only one deserves this elevation
But even He, He laid it down to serve on bended knee
I am not what you see, oh no
Not much more than a slave I wish to be
I am not what you see
Not much more a slave I should be
Nothing more, a slave I will be
