We Are Messengers' song 'Gold and Glory' is a heartfelt declaration of prioritizing a relationship with God over worldly success and material gain. The lyrics reflect a struggle with the temptation to chase after possessions and fame, but ultimately affirm that these things are fleeting and empty. The song echoes the biblical question about the profit of gaining the world while losing one's soul, and it resolves with a clear choice to want God above all else. It's a call to surrender and refocus on what truly matters, offering a message of faith and devotion.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
All that I see I wanna have
It's like my heart is cut in half
There's always something I wanna grab
Is all of this in vain
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world
What does it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul
What if we started over
What if we wanted you more than this
Gold and glory
No I don't want this
Gold and glory
No, I just want you
Tell me what happened to us
Digging for diamonds finding dust
When all the gold turns into rust
Only you'll remain
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world
What does it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul
What if we started over
What if we wanted you more than this
Gold and glory
No I don't want this
Gold and glory
No, I just want you
I don't care what they're selling me
I'd rather be the anomaly
I don't believe what they've got I need
Keep your dirty gold
I'm done trading my joy for fame
I'm done selling my soul for gain
I'm out
I don't want this
Gold and glory
No I don't want this
Gold and glory
No, I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
