Lyrics:

Hair, check.
Shoes, check.
A brand new fit, lookin' cool, check!
I'm lookin' in the mirror like "oooh, yes!"
A cover for an insecure dude, check!

But she won't feel me and they won't like me
If I ain't in them J's or them brand new Nikes.
Let's think deep from inside the psyche,
When it's all said and done even I don't like me.

He live in the gym and his hair stay faded,
Late model cars so they think he made it.
He's Christian, gave his life
But he still ain't satisfied in the Savior, Christ.
Still finds his identity in looks and cars,
If he only knew that he ain't have to look so hard.
If he looked in God,
It may seem odd,
But he'd be so satisfied he could leave it all.

I'm not the shoes I wear,
I'm not the clothes I buy,
I'm not the house I live in,
I'm not the car I drive, no.
I'm not the job I work,
You can't define my worth.
By nothin' on God's green earth,
My identity in found in Christ, found in Christ.

Hey, how do I gauge success?
Why do I say I'm blessed?
Is it the car that I drive,
Or the place that I rest,
Or the way that I dress, now?
Now, is the cause of my pride
The stage and the set
Or my face in the press, now?
Cause the applause, it dies.

When the praise is less,
Then my face is depressed, now.
It's 'cause my value and worth
Is in the volume of the work
I produce in the booth.
It's a prize and a curse
If defined by the perks
When the truth is through.
Man, Im gonna feel like
I don't wanna live no more, no more, no more.
Cause they don't like me like they did in 04, 04, 04.

So, I swallow my pride.
Empowered by God, Im complete in Him.
He's got peace, God's Priest; Im in.
In His presence: weak His strength;
Meek His kin;
Weak His brethren.
Read this list,
Me forgiven.

He's dismissed guilt and my sin
And I find my worth cause Im Jesus friend.

I'm not the shoes I wear,
I'm not the clothes I buy,
I'm not the house I live in,
I'm not the car I drive, no.
I'm not the job I work,
You can't define my worth.
By nothin on Gods green earth,
My identity in found in Christ, found in Christ.


Got her hair done, toes and nails.
Is that her? Well, it's hard to tell
Cause she's so caked up in all that makeup.
Its like she's tryna make up for what she ain't
But she's a saint.
But so confused,
Cause she's been rejected by all these dudes.
They tell her on a scale of 1 to 10, shes a two.
But that ain't true, if she only knew:
In Christ she is loved and accepted.
Shell never be rejected by God
Who's elected her.
Her beauty is her godliness,
And she ain't gotta flaunt it
'Cause it's obvious.

Identity is found in the God we trust.
Any other identity will self destruct.
Identity is found in the God we trust.
Any other identity will self destruct.

I'm not the shoes I wear,
I'm not the clothes I buy,
I'm not the house I live in,
I'm not the car I drive, no.
I'm not the job I work,
You can't define my worth.
By nothin' on God's green earth,
My identity in found in Christ, found in Christ.
