(Lyrics and music by Nichole Nordeman)
(Listen here)
Have I come too casually?
Because it seems to me
There’s something I’ve neglected
How does one approach a deity with informality
And still protect the sacred?
‘Cause you came and chose to wear the skin of all of us
And it’s easy to forget You left a throne
And the line gets blurry all the time
Between daily and divine
And it’s hard to know the difference
Oh, let me not forget to tremble
Oh, let me not forget to tremble
Face down on the ground do I dare
To take the liberty to stare at you
Oh, let me not,
Oh, let me not forget to tremble
What a shame to think that I’d appear
Even slightly cavalier
In the matter of salvation
Do I claim this gift You freely gave
As if it were mine to take
With such little hesitation?
‘Cause you came and stood among the very least of us
And it’s easy to forget you left a throne
Oh, let me not forget to tremble
Oh, let me not forget to tremble
Face down on the ground do I dare
To take the liberty to stare at you
Oh, let me not,
Oh, let me not forget to tremble
The cradle and the grave could not contain Your divinity
Neither can I oversimplify this love
Oh, let me not forget to tremble
Face down on the ground do I dare
To take the liberty to stare at you
Oh, let me
Oh, let me not forget to tremble.
