They advertise it on the television
I hear them plug it on the radio
How we've come to this I really do not know
We're giving glory to the human race now
Man's evolving to a higher place
We will see the wrath of God if things don't change

People led about by blind ambition
And nobody wants to be outdone
Then they say "You gotta' look out for number one"

Chorus:
Jesus is still in control of my life
He's the Master and second to none
One day the Lord will break open the sky
So I guess you could say I'm looking out
I'm looking out for Number One

Using people just to gain position
Whatever happened to the golden rule
We've become a generation of power hungry fools
People living for their reputation
To make a name that everyone will know
What'll it take to show that life's no one-man show

If you think that life is out to get you
And you feel you gotta' protect yourself
Turn it over to the one who knows you so well

Repeat Chorus

Number One

Repeat Chorus

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm looking out
Whoa oh whoa oh
