Verso 1

I saw the news today
The war is at our door
It’s always been there in my heart
The battle between grace
And pride has always
Raged deep inside
It’s hard to be friend
When all You want to be is right

Refrão

Take me down won’t You
Take me down won’t You
Take this crown off of my head
Lift it up won’t You
Lift it up won’t You
Put it back on You again
Back on You again

Verso 2

I tried to analyze
The answers to this life
What divided You and me
I can’t seem calculate
The science of the heart
Love can’t be proven easily

Refrão

Take me down won’t You
Take me down won’t You
Take this crown off of my head
Lift it up won’t You
Lift it up won’t You
Put it back on You again
Back on You again

Ponte 1

Oh I’ve stolen all this time from You
Oh I tried to steal Your thunder too
Oh I reject the gift You freely give
Oh I fulfill empty promises

Ponte 2

I’ve taken riches that were Yours
To justify my holy wars
I have spun a web of lies
All so I could criticize
I’ve kicked You out
Of my hearts throne
Then wondered why I was alone
So take me now
Break me now
Embrace me now
Take me down

Refrão

Take me down won’t You
Take me down won’t You
Take this crown off of my head
Lift it up won’t You
Lift it up won’t You
Put it back on You again

Refrão

Take me down won’t You
Take me down won’t You
Take this crown off of my head
Lift it up won’t You
Lift it up won’t You
Put it back on You again
Back on You again
