From The Everyday Mountain Top Lyrics - Extol

the right words from the right people 

the sweet taste of their approval 

admiring eyes of the worried ones 

the slick smiles of the shallow 

keep your silver coins 

they're worthless next to what you'll trade them for 

the acclamation of the crowd 

begging for more tickling in their ears 

praying for me to bow down to 

the temptation of the false prophets 

keep your silver coins 

they're nothing when I feel His endless love 

I know you dream of feasting on my bitterness 

dance in delight while I realize myself to death 

won't be sedated 

by swallowing your bait 

to want a pet on my back from some preacher 

instead of living out my faith 

keep your transient gold 

I'll stick with my eternal, priceless pearl 

rather be despised down here 

than feel ashamed they day I leave 

leave me alone now 

I will serve only One 

got no desire for a field of blood on my own 

rather be despised down here 

than feel ashamed the day I die
