I may not have what it takes to make the big time The big time is a long, long ways away From the one who said "When you lose your life, you can find it" Then He died to show us the way In the end I think the big time just won't pay I went to Nashville, cut myself a record In the eyes of the world It was just a great big flop Then Jesus came and set his precious love upon it Pushed it all the way to the top Lord, that's way past where the big time has to stop Big time - so much compromising Big time - you're always giving in Big time - soon without realizing Big time - you're not following Him...
