A Little Lower Lyrics

We spoke of kingdoms and their kings
Destroyed and overthrown
We spoke of wealth and freedom here
That we have never known

You spoke of wounded flesh and souls
Forgiven of their sins
You spoke of wealth and freedom
That the Father gives within
We heard You say You were the Son of God Himself,
And that salvation came from You and comes from no one else

And we saw it was...

CHORUS:
A little lower, a little darker
A little weaker, a little harder
Than we all thought it would be
Than we all thought it would be

We sought glory from other men
To show us who we were
We sought to be perfection
in our living laws and words

But You sought nothing but the lost
To show us Who You were
You sought our imperfections
And You died to make us pure

We heard You say You were the Son of God Himself
And that salvation came from You and comes from no one else

And we saw it was...

CHORUS

And we never knew our longing was so deep
Until we saw You on Your knees washing our feet

And we saw You were...

A little lower, a little poorer
A little weaker, a little more
Than we all thought You would be
Than we all thought You would be

A little lower, a little poorer
A little weaker, so much more
Than we all thought You would be
Than we all thought You would be

CHORUS
