He stepped down from Heaven's heights
Laid His majesty aside
Infinity wrapped into clay
He submitted to the womb
So He could take the tomb
The Word became flesh to show the way

Then Jesus went lower
Jesus went lower still

He walked upon the earth
Like a farmer plows the dirt
He poured himself like wine from the vines
The glory of the tree
Was a fruit most pure and sweet
He fell down to give us this life

So we could be closer
We could be closer still

Chorus:

He gave up the ghost
To give us the ghost
When God breathed out
Saints rose from the ground
With life in their bones

What's the use of seed if
It only stays a seed
Are we meant to be buried or sown
How selfish we can be
When we think we're ours to keep
We are not meant to say our own

Jesus went lower Jesus
Went lower still

Chorus 2

He gave up the ghost
To give us the ghost
The veil was torn as the church was born
And love was exposed

Bridge

Lower still to take our burden
Lower still to bare our cross
Lower still to shatter curses
Lower still to reach our hearts

Closer still to bind the broken
Closer still to heal our scars
Closer still to break us open
Closer still into His arms
