Scott Riggan Album: Bring Glory Track: Lay Me Down
Lay Me Down Lyrics
I am a proud man in my heart of hearts It is not in my nature to kneel But I have come face to face with the Lord of the stars And now I know how humility feels And it moves me to the threshold of grace I am finally willing to yield
Lay me down on the altar Lay me down - I am not afraid Lay me down - down on the altar And don't let me crawl away
Now I am finding that I have so much to unlearn And I'm starting to loosen my hold Because following You Jesus is leading me to places I have never had reason to go But You poured out all that You had to give For the love of this desperate soul...
I am a proud man in my heart of hearts It is not in my nature to kneel But falling down at the feet of the Lord of the stars Now I know how humility feels . . .
Song Description: "Anyone who went to middle school summer camp in knows that it's pretty easy to sincerely (maybe even tearfully) commit to serving Christ - to "climb up on the altar" so to speak. The great challenge before us is to stay on the altar when the emotion of the moment passes..."
