God lifts up the lowly – v2

God does not forget us
God blesses us all
God’s gift of salvation;
but God lifts up the lowly
those who are shunned, forgotten

God brings down the mighty
those who are too sure of their power;
God loves the humble, the willing,
those who are giving, servants
those who show mercy in life

God blesses us all
God does not forget us;
but God lifts up the lowly
those who the world thinks of as
lesser than themselves
