Only For The Meek

Lyrics

Verse 1
I brought You all my knowledge
I thought that I was wise (Prov. 3:7, I Cor. 1:19-20)
But then You showed me wisdom (I Cor. 1:25-27, James 1:5)
You opened up my eyes (Acts 26:18)

Chorus
‘Cause only all the pure and simple learn
The greatness of Your wisdom (Matt. 11:25, Luke 10:21, Rom. 11:33)
And only all the poor in spirit find (Matt. 5:3, Luke 6:20)
The riches of Your Kingdom (Matt. 5:3, Luke 6:20)
And the power that the strong and mighty seek (Matt. 5:5, Ps. 37:11, Matt. 23:12, Luke 14:11, Luke 18:14)
Is only for the meek (Matt. 5:5, Ps. 37:11)
Only for the meek

Verse 2
And so I come with nothing (Phil. 3:7-8)
No special strength or skill (II Cor. 12:9-10)
It is the empty vessels (II Cor. 4:7)
That You delight to fill (II Kings 4:3-6)

Repeat chorus

Verse 3
You’ve given me Your riches (James 1:17, Phil. 4:13, Eph. 1:7, Eph. 1:18, Col. 1:27)
Beyond what I can see
So any gift I give you
Is what You’ve given me (I Cor. 4:7, I Chron. 29:14)

Repeat chorus
