[Pre-Chorus]
Lay down yourself young man
Let out some air, oh won't you boy
God's got your blessing
But you got to come down to get it

[Chorus]
The high is for the lowly
The high is for the lowly
The high is for the lowly
The high is for the lowly

[Verse 2]
Unless you come as a little child
You'll never see His face
Favor goes to the meek and mild
For them He's made a place
So consider today the best one
For the truth has met your ear
If you want to be a blessed one
The Word has made it clear

[Pre-Chorus]
You need to just
Lay down yourself young man
Let out some air, oh won't you boy
God's got your blessing
But you gotta come down to get it
[Chorus]
The high is for the lowly
I don't care what you say
The high is for the lowly
I don't care what you do
The high is for the lowly
I don't care what you knowM\
The high is for the lowly

[Bridge]
Question for the rich man
Is your grip too tight to go?
Is it ever good for a man to gain the world
And lose his very soul?

[Pre-Chorus]
You need to just
Lay down yourself young man
Swallow your pride, oh won't you boy
God's got your blessing
But you got to come down to get it

[Chorus]
The high is for the lowly
I don't care what you say
The high is for the lowly
It's just God's way
[Bridge 2]
The more of you got you are
The more that you will get
I done told you once
Best not forget
No no no no no no, oh
Best not forget
Ay ay ay ay a
Best not forget
Said the high is for the lowly, oh
Best not forget
Ay ay ay ay oh oh...

[Bridge 2]
Man, what's in your hand?
What is it you're holding, ooh?
Man, what's in your hand?
What is it you're holding?
Let go of it
Man, what's in your hand?
What is it you're holding?
Let go of it
I know you can
Man, what's in your hand?
What is it you're holding?
Let go of it
I know you can
Man, what's in your hand?
What is it you're holding?
Let go of it
I know you can
Man, what's in your hand?
What is it you're holding?
Let go of it
I know you can
Man, what's in your hand?
What is it you're holding?
Let go of it
I know you can
Man, what's in your hand?
What is it you're holding?
Let go of it
I know you can
