Humility is Power

Verse 1:

I don’t need to stand on mountains high

To see the glory of the sky

Kneeling down, I’ve found more grace

Than pride could ever hope to chase

Not in gold, not in might

But in silence of the night

He whispers truths the proud won’t hear

But to the meek, He draws near

Chorus:

Humility is power, not weakness, not shame

Reward of humility is fear of the Lord

A treasure so mighty, no man can afford

The fear of the Lord is hatred of sin

It drives out the darkness and calls light within

Oh, I rise by going low

That’s the power, that’s the power I know

For the fear of the Lord brings riches untold

Honor and life, more precious than gold

Oh, I rise by going low

That’s the power, that’s the power I know

Verse 2:

Kings may boast of thrones and swords

But I will boast in just one Lord

For every crown will someday fall

But He exalts the least of all

He turns the world upside down

Lifts the humble, lays pride down

So I will trade the praise of men

For the favor of His hand

Chorus:

Humility is power, not weakness, not shame

Reward of humility is fear of the Lord

A treasure so mighty, no man can afford

The fear of the Lord is hatred of sin

It drives out the darkness and calls light within

Oh, I rise by going low

That’s the power, that’s the power I know

For the fear of the Lord brings riches untold

Honor and life, more precious than gold

Oh, I rise by going low

That’s the power, that’s the power I know

Prayer (spoken or soft interlude):

Dear God, help us to seek humility.

Teach us to bow before You—not for show,

but from hearts that truly know

that everything we have comes from Your grace.

Help us to fear You with reverent love,

and to walk in honor, in truth, in life.

Make us low, that You might be lifted high.

Amen.

Final Chorus (Refrain):

Humility is power, not weakness, not shame

Reward of humility is fear of the Lord

A treasure so mighty, no man can afford

The fear of the Lord is hatred of sin

It drives out the darkness and calls light within

Oh, I rise by going low

That’s the power, that’s the power I know

For the fear of the Lord brings riches untold

Honor and life, more precious than gold

Oh, I rise by going low

That’s the power, that’s the power I know

Oh, I rise by going low

That’s the power, that’s the power I know
