Humble Me
Choosing Humility: Denver Powell's Journey of Surrender
Lyrics
Verse:
Starting the verse
Thought that I could rest in you by following every rule
Believed following rules would bring rest
That if I keep my toes in line that I would be worthy to use
Thought following rules made one worthy
Not sacrifice each day
Not wanting to give up daily comforts
But a broken contrite spirit you said you would not turn away.
Realization that a broken spirit is accepted
So Bringing my heart into submission
Submitting the heart sincerely
Past all the lies that blur my vision
Clearing past lies for a better view
Cause I thought my own way would be fit
Belief in one's own path
Thinking that I found the grace to do it
Thinking grace was found in self
But now I've learned your way is sufficient
Realizing God's way is enough
Returning to you, choosing to lose and let my heart be renewed
Returning, choosing to lose self and renew
Hook:
Transition to hook
Let my pride be put away
Desire to shed pride
Jesus you come save the day
Calling for Jesus to intervene
Come rescue me
Request for rescue
cs I just to be
Aspire to become what was promised
Everything you said I would be
Choosing humility
I choose to humble me

Verse:
Beginning of second verse
One simple remedy
Simple solution: surrender to become like Jesus
Lose my life and become thee
Listening better while humbled
I'll hear you better when on bended knee
Humbling oneself is not complex
No not a complex mystery
Acknowledging God as all that's needed
You're everything I'll ever need

Let my pride be put away
Desire to eliminate pride
Jesus you come save the day
Seeking intervention from Jesus
Come rescue me
Request for rescue
cs I just to be
Aspiration to become what was promised
Everything you said I would be
Choosing humility
I choose to humble me

Everything you said I would be
Choosing humility
