Lay Us Low
|
(Wells/Witt)
|
Father we confess
|
Oh we confess
|
we have loved you less than ourselves
|
Father we confess
|
Oh we confess
|
All the idols we¡¯ve built
|
We are betrayed by what we say
|
By what we do
|
And what we claim
|
We want to be famous
|
Take us down and lay us low
|
Leave ashes in place of gold
|
Life-giver sustainer
|
Let nothing remain of our pride
|
From your mountain on high
|
Lay us low
|
Father, we forget
|
Oh how we forget
|
To forgive like you forgive us
|
Oh, how we pretend
|
Oh we pretend
|
We are wise and we are just
|
We are betrayed by what we say
|
By what we do
|
And what we claim
|
We¡¯ve declared our own agendas
|
