The chorus lyrics came to me in between sleep and waking. I am still unaffiliated, regardless of the genre. Still a secular boy.

You can live in a house on the top of a hill Eat from silver platters 'til you get your fill You can go hog wild and shoot yourself into space But when the judgment come, you better know your place

You gotta bring something for the Lord You gotta bring something to the table for the Lord

You can spend your whole life in a bottle of wine Have CEO's holding on the line You can bow your head to a tyrant king But there's one thing you should know before you kiss the ring

You gotta bring something for the Lord You gotta bring something to the table for the Lord

You can buy anything your heart desires Build a golden palace while the world is on fire You can fleece your congregation for all they can give But it ain't what you got; it's how you live

You gotta bring something for the Lord You gotta bring something to the table for the Lord

You can pray all day in the public square Spouting out scripture for everyone there But when the light shines down and your life is laid bare It'll just be you and the man upstairs

You gotta bring something for the Lord You gotta bring something to the table for the Lord
