Notes: 

A song that, more than most, felt like a complete gift; as if it was just sitting there in the air, waiting to be pulled down.

From the very first time we started working on it as a band, we knew it was special. It was a song designed to be led by the students, by the community; to let their voices ring out, so it was awesome to get some of them to sing on the track.

The band completely took this song to whole different level, each of them bringing their own gifts to the table, and making something truly beautiful. 

Low is about worship as life; as a constant reflection of the goodness you've received.

At the core of Jesus' life and ministry was humility, service, and sacrifice. When he washed his disciple's feet, he told them, "You will be blessed if you do this."

Loving others above ourselves, and pouring our lives out on behalf of others.

This is how we get low.

Lyrics:

Bless our hands, that they would reach, into places without peace
Bless our eyes that they would see, all the things that You would see.
Bless our hearts, that they would break, for the wayward gone astray.
Bless our feet that they would move us today.

Bless our songs and let them be, more than pretty melodies.
Bless our prayers and make them greater than the words we say.
Bless our worship, let it rise, into lives that glorify.
Bless our tears and let them come like a flood, over everything, over everything.

This is how we get low.
This is how we get down
This is how we rise above, knees pressed to the ground.
This is how we let go, of phony treasures and crowns.    
Lift our eyes above all we know, this is how we get low.
This is how we get low.
This is how we get low.

Bless our songs and let them be, more than pretty melodies.
Bless our prayers and make them greater than the words we say.
Bless our worship, let it rise, into lives that glorify.
Bless our tears and let them come like a flood, over everything.

This is how we get low.
This is how we get down
This is how we rise above, knees pressed to the ground.
This is how we let go, of phony treasures and crowns.    
Lift our eyes above all we know, this is how we get low.
This is how we get low.

Face down, we fall in the face of this love.
We break down, in tears and feel our spirits rise-up.
We can't contain this praise.
We can't escape this Grace.

Let you glory fall now. Let your people bow down.
Let our praises resound. Let the choir sing out.
Let you glory fall now. Let your people bow down.
Let our praises resound. Let your children make a shout.

Let you glory fall now. Let your people bow down.
Let our praises resound. Let the choir sing out.
Let you glory fall now. Let your people bow down.
Let our praises resound. Let your children make a shout.

To the Heavens (sing it out)
To the Heavens (make it loud)
To the Heavens (all around)
So the Heavens come down.
Let the Heavens come down.
Let the Heavens come down,
come down, come down, come down,
cover everything.

This is how we get low.
This is how we get down
This is how we rise above, knees pressed to the ground.
This is how we let go, of phony treasures and crowns.    
Lift our eyes above all we know, this is how we get low.
This is how we get low.
