Lyrics
Humble is Holy
Asus4 A Am7 A Asus4 A Am7 A
Asus4 A Am7 A
We are one of the multitudes, promised Abraham long ago
Asus4 A Am7 A
All descendants from that tree, just scattered to and fro.
D A E A
Its hard not to get lost in the many minds about
D A E A
To be truly different and yet not stand out.
chorus
D A E A
We're not meant to be beautiful, and yet we truly are?
D A E A
We're not meant to be seen, and yet we're seen from afar?
D A E A
It's the humble that's holy, an example near and far.
D A E A
A shining display from a di - stant star.
Asus4 A Am7 A
Like the lonely tulip growing in a field of grass.
Asus4 A Am7 A
We're out there somewhere, just part of this class.
D A E A
Having trouble pushing upward, through the matting, through the soot
D A E A
But He's pulling at our petals, and pushing at our roots.
chorus
Asus4 A Am7 A
It's His love that keeps us straight, it's His love that stands us tall.
Asus4 A Am7 A
He wants us to be a symbol, a guiding light for all.
D A E A
We need to remember just what we are here for.
D A E A
We can't get caught up in pride's tug of war.
Chorus
