Stay Low, Shine High

Verse 1

What do you do when the storms calm down,

when the bills are paid and the sun’s out now?

When the prayers you whispered in the dark last year

are the life you’re living and it’s all right here?[carvedculture +1]

You asked for peace and the fear got quiet,

you asked for love and you finally found it.

Now the question isn’t “Will I make it through?”

it’s “What do I do with all this truth?”[americansongwriter +1]

Pre-Chorus

’Cause blessings can be bridges or they can be a throne,

I don’t wanna build a kingdom and forget I’m not my own.[colbyjeffers +1]

Chorus

So keep me grounded when the money’s right,

keep me humble when I feel this high.[youtube +1]

If my hands are full, let my heart stay light,

never let the gift outgrow the Giver in my eyes.[vivianmanningschaffel +1]

I don’t wanna gain the world and lose my soul to pride,

I wanna stay low, shine high.[youtube +1]

Verse 2

What do you do when your body’s strong,

when the doctor says you’re doing fine?

When you’re not afraid of living,

not obsessed with how you’ll die?[youtube +1]

You could float above the struggle,

you could say “That’s not my fight,”

or you could take the overflow

and turn it into light.[youtube +1]

Pre-Chorus

Every answered prayer is fuel

for somebody else’s flame,

I am just a temporary

carrier of Your name.[growingdawn +1]

Chorus

So keep me grounded when the money’s right,

keep me gentle when I win this time.[reddit +1]

If I’ve got no fear of sickness,

give me courage for their night.[worshiponline +1]

I don’t wanna sit on blessings

like they’re trophies on a shelf,

remind me I was trusted

so I’d pour them into someone else.[vivianmanningschaffel +1]

Bridge

When the ego starts to whisper,

“Look at everything you’ve done,”

teach me how to bow my head

and point it all back to the One.[colbyjeffers +1]

If the crowds start saying “hero,”

let me kneel there in the dirt,

’cause the only real promotion

is to love and wash the earth.[youtube +1]

Break / Tag

This power isn’t mine, it’s on loan for a time,

every open door’s an altar, not a place to build my pride.[worshiponline +1]

Final Chorus

So keep me grounded when the table’s full,

keep me faithful when my cup overflows.[youtube +1]

If I ever start to worship

what I hold instead of You,

take me back to why You blessed me—

so I’d lift up others too.[billboard +1]

I don’t wanna rule a castle

with an empty, hollow heart,

I wanna stay low, shine high,

and remember why it all starts.[growingdawn +1]

Outro

When I’m standing in abundance

with no worry on my mind,

let my greatest proof of power

be the way I choose to be kind
