Song Meaning
Will Reagan's 'Bed of Humility' is a reflective worship song that encourages listeners to let go of pride and self-effort, embracing a posture of humility before God. The lyrics contrast human striving for recognition and religious performance with the freedom found in trusting God's care, drawing on imagery of crawling on stones and resting in a humble place. It references the natural world, like birds and flowers, to illustrate a life free from worry and dependent on God's provision. The song ultimately points to the joy and liberation that come from surrendering one's own ambitions and finding rest in God's presence.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Long past is the time to berate our own sons
And force them to what we believe
'Cause faith is long surrounding the one
Who walked with humility
This path made of stones won't give way to your pride
You crawl it on hands and knees
And pain suffered colors the sky
In a song of humility
You can stack up your flock in a wall made for fame
And find that your soul is breached
'Cause there ain't no sermon that'll buy you the love
Your heart quietly seeks
You can levy your soul to pay debts to the church
And find you were always free
So lay, daughter
Rest here, son
In the bed of humility
The flowers grow
Under the birds that are singing
They do not sow for you
Nor do they worry of reaping
I saw in flight
The freedom my
Heart desires
Hallelujah
I saw in flight
The freedom my
Heart desires
Hallelujah
