Lose the world, gain the soul Mark 8:36 worship song

What are you chasing that might be costing your soul, and how can you serve others to find true life in Jesus?" Comment, I read and respond to them.

"Lose the World, Gain the Soul"
Based on Mark 8:36 – “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?”

Verse 1
Chasing dreams, we build our towers high,
Seeking wealth beneath a fleeting sky.
Doctors, lawyers, names that shine so bright,
Yet in the rush, we lose the heart of light.
Pre-Chorus
Affluence calls, but it leaves us cold,
Owning things can’t satisfy the soul.
Compassion fades when we turn away,
But in service, we find the better way.
Chorus
Lose the world, gain the soul,
Let Your love make us whole.
Jesus served, He gave it all,
In His steps, we hear the call.
Not to rule, but to lay down,
In Your service, true life is found.
Verse 2
Happy hearts in humble work abide,
Slaves and mothers find their joy inside.
Not in riches, but in needs they meet,
Serving others makes our lives complete.
Pre-Chorus
Great ones lead by lifting others high,
Uniting all beneath a shared sky.
Jesus came, not to command or reign,
But to serve, to bear our sin and pain.
Chorus
Lose the world, gain the soul,
Let Your love make us whole.
Jesus served, He gave it all,
In His steps, we hear the call.
Not to rule, but to lay down,
In Your service, true life is found.
Bridge
He redeemed the lost, the chosen, and the free,
Gentiles, sinners, all humanity.
Not with power, but with a servant’s heart,
He calls us now to play our part.
To serve, to love, to give our all,
To find our soul in answering His call.
Chorus
Lose the world, gain the soul,
Let Your love make us whole.
Jesus served, He gave it all,
In His steps, we hear the call.
Not to rule, but to lay down,
In Your service, true life is found.
Outro
What’s it worth to gain the world’s esteem,
If the soul is lost in empty dreams?
Jesus, lead us to the servant’s way,
Lose the world, and find our soul today.
