[Instrumental Intro | warm Rhodes piano | slow heartbeat pulse | 8 bars] [**heartbeat**] [**warm Rhodes piano enters**] [**soft ambient pads breathing**] [Verse 1 | intimate close-mic'd male lead vocal | piano only | no drums] Lord You know me better than I know myself I say I'm trusting You but never ask for help I know the scripture I can FIND ANY AND EVERY LINE But pride, pride, pride keeps roaring STRONG INSIDE [**heartbeat**] Every morning when I look into the mirror One voice gets louder and one voice gets clearer One sounds powerful, one sounds weak But I've learned the strongest voice don't always speak [Pre-Chorus | male and female call-and-response | drums enter slow] [Female Voice | seductive confident rap cadence | Pride] Make your own way Don't be afraid You are self-made Everything paid Build your own throne Stand on your own Nobody reigns You stand alone [Male Voice | smooth melodic gospel vocal | Humility] Wait and be brave Christ is the Way Battles are won When you choose to obey PICK UP HIS SWORD AND Trust in the Lord What He has promised Is your sure reward [Chorus | massive 90s R&B harmonies | layered vocals | full band kicks in] [**echoes swirling**] Pride and humility Fighting inside of me Pride and humility Fighting inside of me One says "Take it!" One says "Wait!" One says "Hate it!" One says "Grace!" I humble myself... I humble myself... [**choir echoes: humble myself... humble myself...**] Under Your mighty hand I humble myself... Under Your mighty hand I humble myself... [**thunder rolls into choir swell**] [Moment of Silence | no drums | no instruments | breath only] [**silence**] [**silence**] [Humility Response | distant gospel choir | no drums | soft and HOLY] Mmmmm... Who gave the breath Inside your chest? Mmmmm... Who gave the strength When life got stressed? Mmmmm... Who held your hand Through every test? Without the Vine You have nothing left [**wind blowing**] [Bridge | building intensity | drums re-enter and grow] The louder pride screams The smaller it sounds The lower I kneel The higher I'm found The smaller I go The greater You are The less that is me The brighter Your star [**drums begin building**] Every crown falls down Every knee bows down Every crown falls down Every knee bows down [**choir explosion**] [Final Chorus | huge live gospel choir | full orchestral swell | anthemic] I humble myself! [**choir: Humble MYSELF!**] I humble myself! [**choir: Humble MYSELF!**] Under Your mighty hand Under Your mighty hand You'll lift me up In Your due time You'll lift me up In Your due time [**choir chanting**] Mysteries... And secrets... Mysteries... And secrets... Revealed to the humble... [**thunder crack**] Revealed to the humble... [Outro | rain fades in | soft choir | everything dissolves] [**rain fades in**] I know who's gonna win... I know who's gonna win... The battle is over... I know who's gonna win... [**soft choir: I humble myself...**] [**wind fades away**] [**heartbeat slows**] [**silence**]
