Lyrics

I built my tower
Out of compliments and plans
Told myself a story
Where I never needed hands
I quoted every promise
But skipped the ones that cut
The ones that said
"You're dust
Child
Come down from what you've built up"
Pride comes before the fall
I hear it
But I still stand tall
Till I trip on the things I'm hiding
Till I run out of breath from striving
You give more grace
More grace to the low
So teach my heart to bend
Not boast
Break my crown
Lift my eyes
From my pride
I loved being the hero
In every whispered prayer
Asked You to bless my vision
But kept You in a chair
I labeled it "Your kingdom"
While carving out my throne
You kept knocking gentle
On walls I called my home
Set my ladder on the ground
Not on clouds I've drawn in pen
Let me lose what pulls me up
So I can learn to kneel again
If being small is where You are
Then shrink me to that place
Empty hands
An open heart
Carried only
By Your grace
