Tremble - Nichole Nordeman

Have I come too casually?

Because it seems to me

There’s something I’ve neglected

How does one approach a Deity

With informality

And still protect the Sacred?

'Cause you came and chose to wear the skin of all of us

And it’s easy to forget You left a throne

And the line gets blurry all the time

Between daily and Divine

And it’s hard to know the difference

Oh, let me not forget to tremble

Oh, let me not forget to tremble

Face down on the ground do I dare

To take the liberty to stare at you

Oh, let me not

Oh, let me not forget to tremble

What a shame to think that I’d appear

Even slightly cavalier

In the matter of salvation

Do I claim this gift You freely gave

As if it were mine to take

With such little hesitation?

'Cause you came and stood among the very least of us

And it’s easy to forget you left a throne

Oh, let me not forget to tremble

Oh, let me not forget to tremble

Face down on the ground do I dare

To take the liberty to stare at you

Oh, let me not

Oh, let me not forget to tremble

The cradle of the grave could not contain Your Divinity

Neither can I oversimplify this love

Oh, let me not forget to tremble

Face down on the ground do I dare

To take the liberty to stare at you

Oh, let me

Oh, let me not forget to tremble
