Lyrics
Verse 1
I was a hard-headed kid with a loudmouth cry
Kicking the dust when the answer was no
Thought if I pushed hard enough, I’d get by
Learned early how to wrestle control
I grew up strong, learned to hide the fight
Put a clean shirt on a restless soul
Same old pride in a different light
Still trying to carry what I can’t hold
Pre-Chorus
I thought louder meant stronger somehow
Till the silence finally spoke me down
Chorus
I had to get lower than the floor
Before I knew what my knees were for
I tried to stand tall, but I couldn’t stand
Till I bowed under a greater hand
Grace didn’t meet me on higher ground
It found me when I fell face down
I didn’t get lifted till I learned how
To get lower than the floor
Verse 2
The tantrums changed, but the heart stayed loud
Just wore boots instead of tears
Shut my mouth, but I burned inside
Tried to drown it with work and years
Then the bottom dropped, like it always does
When pride’s the one in charge
Lost my grip on the life I loved
And found out how weak I was
Pre-Chorus
No leverage left, no place to run
That’s where the healing begun
Chorus
I had to get lower than the floor
Before I knew what my knees were for
I tried to stand tall, but I couldn’t stand
Till I bowed under a greater hand
Grace didn’t meet me on higher ground
It found me when I fell face down
I didn’t get lifted till I learned how
To get lower than the floor
Bridge
A child don’t fight when his strength is gone
He falls into arms he can trust
A broken heart ain’t turned away
When it’s honest in the dust
You resist the proud, but You stay near
When humility walks in
So here I am, no excuses now
Just mercy and amen
Chorus (Final, Bigger)
I had to get lower than the floor
Before I knew what my knees were for
I don’t demand, I don’t pretend
I trust the lift will come when You send
If strength is found in surrendering down
Then this is the strongest place I’ve found
I didn’t get lifted till I learned how
To get lower than the floor
Outro
I’m not afraid of falling now
I know Who meets me there
The ground I feared became the place
Where freedom found me fair
