In Chris Tomlin's song "We Fall Down / My Jesus I Love Thee," the chorus repeats the phrase "We fall down, we lay our crowns at the feet of Jesus." These lyrics reference the idea of surrendering oneself fully to God and acknowledging his sovereignty and greatness. By laying down their crowns, which symbolize earthly power and accomplishments, the singers are humbling themselves before God and recognizing him as the ultimate authority.
The next line in the chorus, "The greatness of mercy and love at the feet of Jesus," emphasizes the idea of forgiveness and grace. The singer recognizes that even though they have fallen short, they can find hope and redemption in Jesus' love and mercy. The song expresses a desire to worship Jesus and give him the honor and adoration that he deserves.
The repetition of the phrase "holy, holy, holy is the lamb" reflects the biblical image of Jesus as the sacrificial lamb who takes away the sins of the world. The song explores themes of surrender, grace, and redemption, and encourages believers to approach God with humility and reverence.
