The higher that you climb in life
Humble yourself all the more
You will be loved as a giver of gifts
You will find favor with God
What is too sublime, do not seek
Into things beyond you, do not reach
Be faithful in life’s little things
And you will be given the great
And you will be given the great
CHORUS:
Great is the power of God
By the humble the Lord God is glorified
For great is the power of God
Humble yourself all the more
Their own opinion leads many astray
False reasoning, unbalanced judgment
A stubborn man will fare badly in the end
For the sinner heaps sin upon sin
Yet the humble soul will find joy
