Intro (Quiet keyboard, almost like a prayer) Lord, I lay my pride down I give You my crown Jesus, teach me to follow Where You lead me now Verse 1 I came looking for the highest seat, Wanting the world to notice me But Christ whispered softly to my heart, “Come as you are, and take your place.” The one who reaches for the throne Will discover that throne was never home But the heart that kneels before Your grace Will find its honor in Jesus' gaze Pre-Chorus So I won't chase the praise I won't lift up my name I'll trust the hands of Heaven To put me where He wants me Chorus Jesus, when I bow, You lift me When I let go, You hold me When I choose the lower road You remind me I'm Your own Lord, I don't need the highest place I just need Your saving grace Let my life bring glory to You When I bow, You lift me Verse 2 There is freedom underneath surrender, There is strength when I remember Lord, everything I have is Yours, Every breath and every door Let the proud heart learn to bend, Let the striving finally end For Your Kingdom turns the world around— The humble heart is heaven-bound Pre-Chorus So I won't chase the praise I won't lift up my name I'll trust the hands of Heaven To put me where You want me Chorus Jesus, when I bow, You lift me When I let go, You hold me When I choose the lower road You remind me I'm Your own Lord, I don't need the highest place I just need Your saving grace Let my life bring glory to You When I bow, You lift me Bridge Lord Jesus, take my pride Take my plans Take pride's crown from my hands Jesus, if You call me to the lowest place I'll meet You there in grace And if You raise me, let it be Not for my name, but Yours eternally Final Chorus When I bow, You lift me When I surrender, You free me I don't have to prove my worth You have loved me from the first Let me walk the humble road Let me carry what You hold Till every breath I breathe says Jesus, You are worthy Jesus, You are worthy Outro Lord, I lay my pride down... I give You my crown... And in the place where I bow... Jesus, You lift me.
