Your Renown Lyrics Words and music by Shaun Groves
On this journey home
I will walk Your road
I will not turn 'round
For another
Make my pathway straight
Into heaven's gates
I will not turn 'round
For another
Chorus:
Lord, it's Your renown
Your eternal fame
That I live for now
It's Your name
It's Your name
For Your name
In my heart I'm sure
I'm completely Yours
I will not bow down
For another
Trade my selfishness
For Your holiness
I will not bow down
For another
(CHORUS)
When my sun goes down
And the dark surrounds
I will not cry out
For another
Story Behind The Song:
I try to spend time worshiping God individually everyday - not just corporately on Sundays. During these times I like to make up songs to God with no attention to form or rhyme. Sometimes happy accidents happen in these times. Your Renown is one of them. I was concerned about the allure of fame and my own ability to resist the changes for the worse it can bring about in people. I prayed about this, asking God to keep me focused on Him and my family. I read Isaiah 26, picked up my guitar and played Your Renown almost exactly as you hear it today. It's a gift from God, sent to correct my focus in life every time I play it. (Isaiah 26:8)
