Josh Wilson's song "Self Less" encourages listeners to embrace humility by focusing on others rather than themselves. The lyrics acknowledge the difficulty of overcoming pride and emphasize the freedom found in dying to self. Wilson clarifies that this isn't about self-deprecation but about living under grace and loving like Jesus, who loved the world sacrificially. The repeated refrain "Love God, love people" captures the song's simple yet challenging message. It's a call to practical discipleship, urging believers to grow in selflessness and reflect Christ's love in everyday life.

It ain't about thinking less of myself, just thinking of myself less
They say humility doesn't come easily
And I find that to be true
I've got a lot of pride, yeah me, myself and I
Still got some growing up to do
Cause if I want to find the very best life
I've got to learn to die to myself
There's freedom to be found
When I stop and look around
And think about someone else
Ain't about thinking less of myself, just thinking of myself less
Ain't about thinking less of myself, just thinking of myself less
If I want to live like Jesus, got to learn to love like he does
Ain't about thinking less of myself, just thinking of myself less, self less
This ain't a song about
Beating myself down
See I am living under grace
For God so loved
The world so much
That I am free to do the same
And if I want to find the very best life
I've got to learn to die to myself
There's freedom to be found
When I stop and look around
And think about someone else
Ain't about thinking less of myself, just thinking of myself less
Ain't about thinking less of myself, just thinking of myself less
If I want to live like Jesus, got to learn to love like he does
Ain't about thinking less of myself, just thinking of myself less, self less
Love God, love people
Its so hard and so simple
Love God, love people
Its so hard and so simple
It ainl about thinking less of myself, come on
Ain't about thinking less of myself, just thinking of myself less
Ain't about thinking less of myself, just thinking of myself less
If I want to live like Jesus, got to learn to love like he does
Ain't about thinking less of myself, just thinking of myself less, self less
Ain't about thinking less of myself, just thinking of myself less
Ain't about thinking less of myself, just thinking of myself less
If I want to live like Jesus, got to learn to love like he does
Ain't about thinking less of myself, just thinking of myself less, self less
