Lyrics
Verse 1
If it isn't You
Burn it down
If it steals Your glory
Burn it down
Leave nothing standing
That You didn't build
I built an altar to approval
Called it purpose, called it passion
Every brick was made from pride
But I disguised it as compassion
Had a Bible in my hands
While I was building my own throne
Wanted everybody's eyes
While saying God and God alone
Verse 2
I memorized the words
But never let them cut me open
Sang about surrender
While my hands were tightly closed in
I wanted resurrection
Without dying to myself
Wanted Heaven on my lips
While I kept worshipping my health
My comfort, my ambition
My position, my applause
Funny how the loudest idol
Usually sounds like us
Chorus
Search every motive
Open every room
If there's anything
That competes with You
Burn it down
Every idol
Burn it down
Every title
Burn it down
Every kingdom
That I built without Your name
Burn it down
Every secret
Burn it down
Every reason
Leave nothing standing
Till only Jesus remains
Bridge
Don't spare my reputation
If it keeps me from repentance
Don't protect my image
If it builds another prison
Tear apart the version of myself
That I've defended
If it doesn't look like Christ
Then let its story finally end here
Put the cross where I put comfort
Put Your will above my own
Teach me how to lose the things
That never should have been my home
Let obedience be louder
Than the thousand lies I trust
If my heart is still divided
Bring the holy fire, God
Outro
Take my future
Take my plans
Take my trophies
Take my hands
Take the dreams
I never gave
Nothing hidden
Nothing saved
Lord
Burn it
Burn it down
Burn it down
Till my pride
Becomes worship
Burn it down
Till my fear
Becomes faith
Burn it down
Till my name
Means nothing
And Yours
Means everything
Burn it down
Burn it down
Until all they see
Is Christ
