VERSE 1 We have heard the story Korah at the tent When the ground was opened By the One who sent We have read the warning Written clear as day Numbers sixteen on our lips As we bow and pray VERSE 2 We recall the garden Where our father fell When we chose our wisdom Over what You tell Lean not on your own Lord Trusting in Your every word Like a child Like the young PRE-CHORUS We remember how the earth cried out When pride tried to take Your crown We remember how Your fire fell Teach us now, Lord To bow down to You CHORUS We will not rebel We will not rise up proud We lay our crowns Our rights and our plans Down before You now We will not contend With the One who knows us well Your Word is our delight Your yoke our rest We will not rebel VERSE 3 We have heard the thunder On the mountain side When Your holy presence Made the people hide You have said Be holy for I the Lord Am too We don’t stand in stubborn arms crossed tight We lift hands to You VERSE 4 We remember leaders Moses at the tent Face down for a people Who in anger went When they rose against Your servant You said, "Who is this?” Still he stood between the living And the plague A shield of intercession PRE-CHORUS We remember ancient Israel Grumbling in the desert air We remember how their hardened hearts Turned from You in fear and flair CHORUS We will not rebel We will not rise up proud We lay our crowns Our rights and our plans Down before You now We will not contend With the One who knows us well Your Word is our delight Your yoke our rest We will not rebel BRIDGE 1 Search us and test us See if any way is wrong Break proud altars Raise a meek and humble song Like our Savior Philippians says He came He took the form of servant dust Obedient to shame We will have this mind among us We will bow where Jesus knelt Not grasping at Your glory But thankful for what’s dealt “Not our will but Yours be done” On our lips again In the garden of our choices Let submission win BRIDGE 2 All we are is mercy-bought All we have is grace So we offer bodies now As worship in this place Living Holy sacrifices Romans calls us to We refuse the mold of passing age We are shaped by You BRIDGE 3 If anyone would come Lord We have heard You say We deny ourselves and take up our cross We walk in that today Draw near to God the letter calls And He will come near too We submit Resist the evil one and we run to You CHORUS We will not rebel We will not rise up proud We lay our crowns Our rights and our plans Down before You now We will not contend With the One who knows us well Your Word is our delight Your yoke our rest We will not rebel
