God lifts up the lowly – v3

God blesses us all, richly,
grace upon grace
far more than we deserve
God’s gift of salvation;
but God lifts up the lowly
God brings down the mighty
those who are too sure of their power.
God loves the humble, the willing,
those who are giving, servants,
God blesses us all, richly,
grace upon grace
far more than we deserve;
but God lifts up the lowly
those who the world, society,
thinks of as lesser than themselves.
