God Exchange - John Ludwig

God Exchange Lyrics

Sometimes in my life, I get drawn into the world
Caught up in the latest thing, my head’s all in a whirl
Seems that I just have to trade, the simple for complex
Living for my selfish nows, forgetting what comes next
CHORUS 1
That’s a God exchange, the worst deal you can make
Focus not on giving, but the things that I can take
Forget the truth before me, get swallowed by the fake
That’s a God exchange, the worst deal you can make
Politics in my job, can dominate each day
The scheming and positioning, to get it my own way
The deal is done without, any consequence today
Believing that is how I’m, supposed to earn my pay

CHORUS 1
Working seems to get all of, my best energy
By the time I’m finally home, there’s not much left in me
But love of gold is giving way, to God’s sweet love of me
Turning to my savior who, died to set me free
CHORUS 2
That’s a God exchange, the best deal you can make
Focus on the giving, not the things that I can take
Remember truth before me, give up on the fake
That’s a God exchange, the best deal you can make
Perhaps, like me, you will go another way
Climbing towards the mountaintop, and a brighter day
Make a God exchange, try to rearrange
What holds you back from His way, the things that you should change
CHORUS 2
