Bluegrass legend Willi Davis is back with his response to Pride Month! Brother Merrill is on the mandolin, Big T is playin’ the banjo and Lilly Byrd is on the standup bass.
Lyrics:
Well the devil fell from heaven high
By pride he thought he’d touch the sky
Tempted Eve in the garden fair
“You’ll be like God if you eat that there”
But pride it blinds and pride it kills
It separates from the Lord’s good will
Pride has fallen at the cross
Pride has fallen at the cross
Humility has won the loss
Pride has fallen at the cross
Well pride turns blessings into boasts
And trials into bitter ghosts
It makes a man think he’s so fine
Can’t see his need for grace divine
But humble hearts the Lord will raise
He gives them grace and lights their ways
Well look way over yonder, what do I see?
The Son of God on Calvary
He stooped down low upon that tree
For sinners lost like you and me
The cross it killed that ugly pride
Now by faith we’re justified
Meet me Jesus, meet me in the middle of the air
Humility will get me there!
Pride has fallen at the cross
Pride has fallen at the cross
Humility has won the loss
Pride has fallen at the cross.
