Sovereign Grace Music's 'How Low' reflects on the humility of Christ, from His birth in a manger to His sacrificial death. The lyrics contrast the Creator's majesty with His willingness to become helpless, learn to walk, wash feet, and suffer on the cross. The song emphasizes that the King of the universe lowered Himself to raise humanity from shame, bearing grief and sin so believers could reign with Him. It connects the incarnation and crucifixion, highlighting God's profound love and the paradox of strength in weakness. The repeated 'Gloria' chorus echoes the angelic announcement of Christ's birth.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

How low was our Redeemer brought, the King who held the stars

Lay helpless in a maiden?s arms and pressed against her heart

While sheep and cattle raised their voice the babe could speak no words

The ever flowing Spring of Joy had come to share our thirst


Verse 2

How low was our Redeemer brought, the Lord the worlds obeyed

Would stumble as He learned to walk upon the ground He?d made

The One the angels bowed before would kneel to wash our feet

And be at home among the poor though He owned everything


Chorus

Gloria, gloria in the highest

Gloria, gloria in the highest


Verse 3

How low was our Redeemer brought to raise us from our shame

And now the highest praise of all belongs to Jesus? name

The Healer wounded on a tree to bear our grief and sin

The King gave up His crown so we could ever reign with Him
