The Show

[Verse 1]
It started when we told them
That worship's not a show
Then we put on a show
And they were too impressed to notice

We didn't know then
How far this thing would fall
Now we've redefined it all
'Til we've forgotten what a show is

[Pre-Chorus]
Now we're up on the stage with our hand in the air
The crowd is so into it's only fair
We'll give you some glory maybe you can share
A little with us

Celebrity wasn't our goal at the start
But they set us so high and bright in the dark
At first we were lighthouses but now we are stars
Oh God forgive us

[Chorus]
Because we've got a lot of He must increase in our songs
But all of our I must decrease is gone

[Verse 2]
And the money made it harder
And we did the best we could
But when they love you it feels good
And we just couldn't resist it

So we took it even farther
Started chasing after fame
And when we lifted up your name
Our name got lifted with it

[Pre-Chorus]
We had good intentions but it was no use
We couldn't be shepherds and superstars too
In order to move forward we had to choose
And who could blame us

Celebrity wasn't our goal at the start
We just wanted people to see who you are
But getting ourselves out of the way is hard
When we're famous

[Chorus]
Because we've got a lot of he must increase in our songs
But all of our I must decrease is gone

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus]
Celebrity wasn't our goal at the start
But the pressure was high and we had to work hard
What's right for the church isn't to rise up the charts
Serving two masters has torn us apart

And we're still singing
He must increase
And we believe it's true
But so hard not to increase too

[Chorus]
Because we've got a lot of he must increase in our songs
But all of our I must decrease is gone
