That's All
David Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know I can't please this world and please God
For I can't serve two masters and keep them both pleased
And I love my God, more than I love this world
And that's all He's asking of me

I have had my best friends to forsake me
They have turned me away from their door
With their hearts filled with hate they have judged me
And robbed me of treasures untold

They can hurt my name but I will never cry
When they falsely accuse me and others believe
For they can not change my record on high
And that's all that matters to me

I know I can't please this world and please God
For I can't serve two masters and keep them both pleased




And I love my God, more than I love this world
And that's all He's asking of me
