You Love the World Songtext
von Keith Green

I want you here with Me
But you′ve been keeping other company
You can't sit still, it′s plain to see
You love the world and you're avoiding Me

You love the world, avoiding Me

My Word sits there upon your desk
But you love your books and magazines the best
You prefer the light of your TV
You love the world and you're avoiding Me

You used to pray, you were so brave
Now you can′t keep even one appointment we′ve made
Oh, I gave My blood, to save your life
Tell Me, tell Me is it right? Tell Me
Will you leave Me here alone again tonight?


Well, I love you, still more and more
But you're fighting everything I′m working for
You're acting like My enemy
You love the world and you′re avoiding Me

You love the world, you know you love the world
You love the world, avoiding Me

These other loves, they're hurting you
If you end up losing Me, then what will you do?
Oh, I gave My blood, to save your life
Tell Me, tell Me is it right? Tell Me
Will you leave Me here alone again tonight?

Well, I want you here with Me
But you′ve been keeping other company
And you prefer the light of your TV
You love the world and you're avoiding Me

You love the world, you love the world
You love the world and you're avoiding Me
You love the world
You love the world, you′re avoiding Me
