Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I saw the news today, the war is at our door
It's always been there in my heart
The battle between grace and pride has always raged deep inside
It's hard to be a friend when all you wanna be is right
[Chorus]
Take me down, won't You?
Take me down, won't You?
Take this crown off of my head
Lift it up, won't You?
Lift it up, won't You?
Put it back on You again
Back on You again
[Verse 2]
I tried to analyze the answers to this life
What divided You and me?
I can't seem to calculate the science of the heart
Love can't be proven easily
[Chorus]
Take me down, won't You?
Take me down, won't You?
Take this crown off of my head
Lift it up, won't You?
Lift it up, won't You?
Put it back on You again
Back on You again
[Bridge]
Oh, I've stolen all this time from You
Oh, I tried to steal Your thunder too
Oh, I reject the gift You freely give
Oh, I fulfill empty promises
[Bridge]
I've taken riches that were Yours
To justify my holy wars
I have spun a web of lies
All so I could criticize
I've kicked You out of my heart's throne
Then wondered why I was alone
So take me now and break me now
Embrace me now and take me down
[Chorus]
Take me down, won't You?
Take me down, won't You?
Take this crown off of my head
Lift it up, won't You?
Lift it up, won't You?
Put it back on You again
[Outro]
Take me down, won't You?
Take my selfishness
Take me down, won't You?
Take my foolish pride
Take this crown off of my head
Go on and lift it up
Lift it up, won't You ?
It was always Yours
Lift it up, won't You?
It was never mine
Put it back on You again
Back on You again
