[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I like this
Yeah

[Verse One]
My wifey's pastor tells me all the time he likes what he hears
When I met him I had only been writing for a couple of years
So the message wasn’t really as clear
He told me to pray about my direction, and promised I would be steered
I found myself being honest about the path that I stepped in
Everything I kept in
All the sin that just crept in
Now when I converse it ain't just all about the worst
And I can start out in reverse, and say
God, what's up? Let me check-in
I see what You’re doing, don't know how You do it
How You look at me and point me toward the right improvement
How You look at me and show that You can get the glory
Then make room for me to go out and go tell my story
You gave me the outlet
Now I'm fully charged (fully charged)
Feel like Emmitt Smith, yo, I could rush a milli yards
Know that what I'm doing can all be for Your delight
No matter how big or bright, I just know You'll let it shine
(When I write)

[Chorus]
I am not a wordsmith
You blessed me with the words
I am here to give You all the credit You deserve
When I write

When they ask me who You are
That's when I know that I've gotta tell the news
Only one direction
I just point 'em all to You
When I write

[Verse Two]
My homie tells me I’m his favorite artist
I just laugh it off
He said I’ve never known you, ever
To play around or be slacking off
He tells me, bro, you've got a gift, you’ve gotta use it
Think about your influence and those that you're introducing
To the Christ, to the light, to the Father almighty
Think they gettin' that from Nike?
Bro, that's highly unlikely
You don’t think you'll make a change?
Bro, you're highly mistaken
Even if it's just one pair of eyes that are wide and awakened
Never put down the pen, keep your hand on the pad
Never optimize a plan that compromises the brand
Christ first, wife second, don't you think 'bout what's last
Always recognize the power that your sanity has
But you gotta stay creative, gotta keep creating
Take your time with your craft, don't worry about who's waiting
Know that what You're doing can all be for His delight
No matter how big or bright, I just know you'll let it shine
(When you write)

[Chorus]
I am not a wordsmith
You bless me with the words
I am here to give You all the credit You deserve
When I write

When they ask me who You are
That's when I know that I've gotta tell the news
Only one direction
I just point 'em all to You
When I write

[Verse Three]
My mama said she's proud of the man I've become
And the things that I'm doing out in the land of the Son
And the words that I'm speaking about the God who is ours
And the fact that my faith is standing as strong as a tower
I may not be the best at what I do, but I'm blessed to be here to do it
Even when I'm stressing, I'm pressing and still pursuing
Know that what I'm doing can all be for Your delight
No matter how big or bright, I just know You'll let it shine
(When I Write)

[Chorus]
I am not a wordsmith
You blessed me with the words
I am here to give You all the credit You deserve
When I write

When they ask me who You are
That's when I know that I've gotta tell the news
Only one direction
I just point 'em all to You
When I write
