Lay Us Low Songtext

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
Chorus
