[Verse 1]
I wore my name too high
Like it made me clean
Held my head so straight
Couldn’t see what I’d seen
Took the long way up
Just to feel above
But the higher I climbed
The less I knew of love
[Pre-Chorus]
Then You found me there
On my polished throne
Turned my crown to dust
Said, “You’re better on your knees”
[Chorus]
I lay it down, I lay it down
My pride at Your feet
I lay it down, I lay it down
Make me small and meek
Jesus, keep me low
Where the mercy flows
I lay it down, I lay it down
My pride at Your feet
[Verse 2]
I used my sharpest words
Like they made me strong
But every stone I threw
Just showed I was wrong
Now I’d rather be
A servant in the rain
Than a king of nothing
Carrying my shame
[Pre-Chorus]
Then You found me there
On my polished throne
Turned my crown to dust
Said, “You’re better on your knees”
[Chorus]
I lay it down, I lay it down
My pride at Your feet
I lay it down, I lay it down
Make me small and meek
Jesus, keep me low
Where the mercy flows
I lay it down, I lay it down
My pride at Your feet
[Bridge]
Break me open
Make me true
Strip away
What hides from You
No more glory
For my name
Only You
Deserve the praise
[Chorus]
I lay it down, I lay it down
My pride at Your feet
I lay it down, I lay it down
Make me small and meek
Jesus, keep me low
Where the mercy flows
I lay it down, I lay it down
My pride at Your feet
