Jimmy Needham – Being Small

Here is a sampling of Jimmy Needham that is contextually relevant! Please read the previous post first to get said context :)

Lyrics:

yeah, yes, oh
Why I wanna be a hurricane when I’m barely a breeze
‘Cause I’ve already seen Your storm bring me down to my knees
Just when we think we’ve made it high enough
You knock us back to the ground
We’re all trying to move up fast,can’t see the contrast
Of how the King came down

‘Cause I can’t build my towers higher
And live inside Your fire, no no no no no

Whenever I climb too high
Keep my feet on the ground
And when I get full of me
Turn me upside down
You know pride and not just summer
Come before the fall
So if it’s You that’s gettin’ bigger
I don’t mind being small
Being small
Being small

Maybe if I shout real loud then I’ll draw a crowd
And they’ll finally cheer
Or maybe I should tone down, never make a sound out
Anything to draw them near
Or maybe there’s more to life than trying to make a name
Even though they say it ain’t so
So maybe I should step on down
Hand off the King’s crown
To the guy on the throne

‘Cause I can’t build my towers higher
And live inside Your fire, no no no

Whenever I climb too high
Keep my feet on the ground
And if I get full of me turn me upside down
You know pride and not just summer
Come before the fall
So if it’s You that’s getting bigger
I don’t mind being small

These people won’t miss me
I will be out of their memories
The ground will forget me for sure
Only one is remembered
One name to be treasured
Is Yours

So now when I climb too high
Keep my feet on the ground
And if I get full of me
Turn me upside down
You know pride and not just summer
Come before the fall
Ooo
So maybe hopefully I see less of me
And more of you and its true
I’ll be finally free
That’s what I want after all
Yeah

Whenever I climb too high
Keep my feet on the ground
And if I get full of me turn me upside down
You know pride and not just summer
Come before the fall
So if it’s You that’s getting bigger
I don’t mind being small
Being small
Being small
Being small, oh oh oh
Yeah
Being small, oh oh oh oh
Being small
