This song was written in the midst of an issue I was grappling with concerning how to honor God with the gifts He gave me instead of sucking all of the accolades up for myself. Humility, getting low, is the only way to do it.
lyrics
Eyes seeking something to behold
Make my flesh rise to glory in itself
Praise is its sustenance
Adoration its desire
Oh how this fallen nature thrives
On stolen love
Ohhh
Oh so wise in my own eyes
Too proud to see that I am blind
Enveloped by a fog of vain imagination
It's too hard to tell if this dream is Your creation
And now this gift that You've given me
Is fueled by pride Your greatest enemy
Ohhh
Oh, Holy Spirit
Teach me to get lower
I need Your direction
Lord, the fog is growing thicker
I know the only way out
Is for me to hit the ground
So I'm falling on my face
Relinquishing all stolen praise
I give it up, give it all back to you, Jesus
I set my heart, set it on You
So I'll always stay
