Crowns on the Floor

Only You (only You),
Only You (only You).
Every crown comes falling down —
Crowns on the floor, only You.

I could bring You my ambition,
I could bring You my applause,
I could stack up my achievements
Like they bought me any cause.
But I lay them at the altar,
Every trophy, every name,
'Cause the only crown that matters
Is a crown I cannot claim.
I empty out my pockets
Of the pride I carried alone.

Not to me, not to my name (not me),
Not the gift and not the frame —
Let it all fall down like rain:

Crowns on the floor (on the floor),
Down at Your altar they go.
I've got nothing left to prove —
I'd rather have You than the show.

Only You (only You),
Only You (only You).
Every crown comes off my own head —
Only You.

Take the credit I've been keeping,
Take the spotlight and the mic,
Take the little kingdom building
That I guarded through the night.
'Cause I've seen what happens after
When the glory stays with me:
It gets heavy, then it's empty,
And it never sets me free.
So I hand it back to heaven,
Every ounce I tried to own.

Take the stage (only You),
Take the name (only You),
Everything that ever glittered,
Put it back inside the flame (only You).
Not the singer, not the setlist (not them),
Not the anthem, not the sound —
Every ounce of every glory,
Lay it on the holy ground.

Take the honor off my shoulders
Where it never should have stayed,
Put it back upon the altar
Where the price was fully paid.
And I'll sing it like a free man
With the spotlight off of me:
Every crown is on the ground,
And every one belongs to You.

Crowns on the floor (on the floor),
Down at Your altar they go.
I've got nothing left to prove —
And they're staying on the floor.

Crowns on the floor (on the floor),
Every crown comes falling down.
Jesus, take the honor —
Only You.
