Album: Best of the Best
Verse 1
You may own a lovely mansion, you might drive a fancy car,
Be a Hollywood attraction, and a famous move star,
You might know the queen of England, hang around with the elite,
You might own a five-star hotel, or a horse that can't be beat,
But I know there'll come a day, when you'll trade it all away,
For what I have, for what I have!
Verse 2
All the gold in California, all he coffee in Brazill,
All the stocks and bonds on Wall Street, or the hundred-dollar bills,
They may occupy the daydreams, of a more ambitious man,
But my eyes are fixed on Heaven, and I'm sticking to my plan,
I tell the whole world, even though they might not understand or know,
Just what I am, just what I am!
Chorus
What I have is a soul, bought by the blood and sanctified,
What I have is a little pool of tears, where I cried,
And I won't forget the day, I traded all my sins away,
For what I have, for what I have!
Reprise 1
Where I stand and testify, even when they criticize,
What I have, what I have,
And no matter what they see, I know they cannot take away,
What I have, what I have,
I tell the whole world, even though they may not understand or know,
What I have, what I have.
As a matter of a fact, I know that Jesus knows exactly,
What I have, what I have!
Chorus
What I have is a soul, bought by the blood and sanctified,
What I have is a little pool of tears, where I cried,
And I won't forget the day, I traded all my sins away,
For what I have, for what I have!
Reprise 2
Go tell the family, tell your physician, go tell the lawyer, the politician,
That's what I am, that's what I am, that's what I am, that's what I am, that's what I am!
Well, the world didn't give it, and the world can't take away
What I have!
