Never Gonna Be, Never Gonna Be, Proverbs 22:4AMP
I could build a tower to Heaven
Get on top and touch the sky
I could write a million songs
All designed to glorify
I could be about as good
Good as any human could
But that won't get me by
I could be anything I wanted to
I wanted to
I could do anything but one thing's true
Never gonna be as big as Jesus
Never gonna hold the world in my hand
Never gonna be as big as Jesus
Never gonna build a promised land
But that's, that's alright okay with me
I could do anything I wanted to
I wanted to
I could be anything, but one thing's true
Never gonna be as big as Jesus
Never gonna hold the world in my hand
Never gonna be as big as Jesus
Never gonna build a promised land
but that's, that's all right, it's ok with me
Never gonna be, never gonna be
Never gonna be, never gonna be
Never gonna be, never gonna be
As big as Jesus
As big as Jesus
(2nd verse and chorus: Audio Adrenaline, Never Gonna Be As Big As Jesus)
For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Matt. 23:12 NIV
[11] For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled [before others], and he who habitually humbles himself (keeps a realistic self-view) will be exalted.”
The reward of humility [that is, having a realistic view of one’s importance] and the [reverent, worshipful] fear of the Lord
is riches, honor, and life. Prov. 22:4 AMP
Thank you Audio Adrenaline for being obedient to the Spirit when you wrote this song! This song is definitely a lesson on humility. So true: you will never be as big as Jesus. No matter what you do in life or on this earth. No matter how many cars you have or money you have or if everyone on the planet knows who you are you will never, ever, ever be as big as Jesus. Regardless of what Lennon said he was obviously still wrong because they still didn’t even come close. People are still bigger fans of Jesus than the Beatles. Let’s boil it down to our last scripture here: Proverbs 22:4. It is true that the reward of your humility in life, having a realistic view of your importance combined with a healthy fear of the Lord, fear out of reverence, as it should be, will definitely add abundance, honor and life to you. Trust me, none of you is better or more important than the other. We are all in the same boat here. We are all rushing to the stern of the boat waking Jesus up to save us from the storms in life. Remember today to not get it twisted, you will never be as big as Jesus and in doing so He will bless you beyond what you could ever think or imagine (Eph. 3:20amp).
