"Who Needs The World"

 
 
 

“WHO NEEDS THE WORLD” LYRICS

Verse 1
I won’t be caught dead hauling
Treasures that were never mine
I got my eyes set on heaven
I’m banking on a better prize
Don’t want to look back
And find It was all just a waste of time
I won’t be caught dead
I won’t be caught dead

Chorus 1
Who needs the world? I got Jesus!
Who needs the world? I got Jesus!
I don’t need money, fame, cars, or clothes
'Cause I got the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
Who needs the world?
I got Jesus! Oh, I got Jesus!
(Oh, oh, oh, oh!)

Verse 2
I meant what I said.
I found it, Something so clearly divine
Went down to the river, tasted
Something much sweeter than wine
When the Word splits the eastern sky
I'll come running, leave this life of mine
I meant what I said. I won’t be caught dead.

Bridge
From the eastern shore to Californ
And anywhere in between
He’s better than anything
You’ve ever dreamed!

Cliff Preston Bio

“I try to see people through the lens of what God has brought me through and saved me from. I believe that if God can love and use even me, he can love and use anyone.”

It’s been said that what sets Cliff Preston apart is his raw authenticity and compassion.  Preston’s music ministry began in 2002 as he began traveling with bands to bring awareness to the love of Jesus as well as the mental health crisis.  With his father being a professional counselor and pastor, he was very aware of the effect that mental health was having on the generation, as well as the ultimate source of wellness - the finished work of the cross.  He has spent the following twenty years traveling the country writing songs, leading worship, preaching, and even opening businesses geared towards Christ-centered clinical mental healthcare.

Cliff is proud to call Smackover, Arkansas his hometown.  He is even prouder of God’s faithfulness through his marriage with his wife Leslie, and the wisdom God provides as they raise their daughter Kannyn (12), and their two sons Murphy (10) and Campbell (2).

Cliff brings over two decades of ministry experience and business development to his partnership with People & Songs. In that time, he has written songs for artists including Newsong, JJ Weeks, Carrolton and more. He has shared the stage with artists such as MercyMe, Jeremy Camp, and Natalie Grant among others.  All while opening and building companies that develop platforms to display Christ to a lost and hurting world.

Cliff is excited for what is to come as he joins forces with this diverse team of artists, worship leaders, and writers for the glory of God.
