Audrey Assad's song 'Humble' reflects on the humility of Jesus Christ, who willingly became human, bore our sins, and carried the cross. The lyrics emphasize His willingness to dwell with us, live in us, and die for us, while the chorus expresses a desire to decrease so that He may increase. The song calls listeners to bow in reverence and lift Jesus high, ultimately praying to be made humble like Him. It is a worshipful meditation on Christ's condescension and our response of surrender and adoration.

Humble and Human, willing to bend You are
Fashioned of flesh and the fire of life, You are
Not too proud to wear our skin
To know this weary world we're in
Humble, humble Jesus
Humble in sorrow, You gladly carried Your cross
Never refusing Your life to the weakest of us
Not too proud to bear our sin
To feel this brokenness we're in
Humble, humble Jesus
We bow our knees
We must decrease
You must increase
We lift You high
Humble in greatness, born in the likeness of man
Name above all names, holding our world in Your hands
Not too proud to dwell with us, to live in us, to die for us
Humble, humble Jesus
We bow our knees
We must decrease
You must increase
We lift You high
We bow our knees
We must decrease
You must increase
We lift You high
We lift you high [x7]
Humble
You are humble
Make me humble like You
We lift You high
