Humbly bow

The righteous Father His Son sends to fulfill His covenant vow

The Lord of Majesty descends as the heavenly hosts all humbly bow.

To powers of this ailing earth -Won't comprehend this treasure's worth

The sons of men stand awestruck now-As in our hearts we humbly bow.

All majesty and power and dominion now belong

To this humble holy heresy that seems to be all wrong

But men shall see their values redefined

And come to see this foolishness as the best grace we could find.

This God now cries shall one day weep

In a cradle He lies, but in a tomb he shall sleep

But sure as He is born this day He will see rebirth

Arising in His glory to conquer all the earth!

Now on this humble back roadÝ In a place thought to be defiled

Stripped bare of all His gloryÝ We find God's holy child

We're dumbstruck by the meaning We're awestruck by this thought

That this helpless and dependent one Is the savior we have sought.

We fall face down in worship We hallow his name now

We long to hold him close to us As in hope we humbly bow.

We fall face down in worship We hallow his name now

We long to hold him close to us As in hope we humbly bow.
