(A Humility Anthem) [Verse 1] I laid my crown in the dust where the seraphim cry Holy, holy, holy—so small am I The weight of Your glory crushes my name But in the quiet, I hear Yours proclaimed No need for a stage, no hunger for praise I’ve seen the throne where the elders lay Their crowns fall fast like stars at night In that kind of Presence, I lose my fight --- [Chorus] 🎶 I am not the center—I’m the echo of the King I don't vanish—I rise in what You bring Let others shine like morning dew I'm crowned by silence, and it's all for You 🎶 🎶 No spotlight needed, no banner unfurled I fade with joy to light Your world My soul bows low, but it stands upright I'm hidden in You and blazing with light 🎶 --- [Verse 2] You washed feet I’d hide, touched wounds I protect You saw through masks the proud erect Not ashamed to stoop or kneel You broke the lie that rank is real You chose the weak, the low, the last To carry fire in broken glass A jar of clay with glory inside So I let go of needing pride --- [Bridge] (Spoken/Dub Echo style) 🎤 “From the desire of being esteemed… deliver me” “From the fear of being forgotten… deliver me” 🎤 “Let others be chosen before me… and I rejoice” 🎤 “Let me be small—if You be known” --- [Chorus Refrain] 🎶 I am not the center—I’m the echo of the King I don't vanish—I rise in what You bring Let others shine like morning dew I'm crowned by silence, and it's all for You 🎶 🎶 In the hidden fields where no one sees I plow for joy on wounded knees My worth is carved in nailed wood I’m not overlooked—I’m understood 🎶 --- [Final Verse / Outro – Melodic Fade] There’s peace when you stop trying to be What only the world says you need to be I am His, and that's my fame In Christ, the humble wear no shame --- > Optional Devotional Line (for reflection after listening/singing): “Humility isn’t erasure—it’s transfiguration. When I disappear, Christ appears.”
