Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord
And he will lift you up
And he will lift you up
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
Was blind but now I see
When we've been there ten thousand years
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
Than when we first begun
So humble thyself in the sight of the Lord
Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord
And He will lift you up
(And i know) that He will lift you up
And He will lift you up
(And i know) that He will lift you up
The song "Humble Yourself" by Keith Lancaster & the Acappella Company emphasizes the importance of humility in the sight of the Lord. The lyrics call for individuals to lower themselves before God, recognizing his power and authority. The song suggests that those who humble themselves will be lifted up by God, and that amazing grace has the power to save even the most wretched of sinners.
The repetition of the phrase "humble thyself in the sight of the Lord" emphasizes the importance of humility in the song. By emphasizing humility, the song suggests that true salvation and redemption can only come when individuals approach God with a humble and contrite heart. The song also references the classic hymn "Amazing Grace", which speaks to the transformative power of God's grace in the lives of sinners. By referencing this beloved hymn, the song reminds believers of the importance of seeking God's grace and mercy.
Finally, the song concludes with a powerful message, suggesting that believers will spend eternity singing God's praise. This line is a reminder that our time on earth is fleeting, and that the ultimate goal of believers is to worship God for eternity. By humbling ourselves before God and seeking his grace, we are preparing ourselves for an eternity of worship and devotion.

Yes this has always been one of my favorites. The most melochonic sounding songs were always my favorite.

Mine is a picture of God’s creation ( a picture of fall trees and stuff). So I guess my reason to keep going is GOD!
