Modesty

Verse 1

I remember mama's whisper

Sewing buttons on my coat

Told me walkin' ain't the fashion

When the prize is in your soul

Let your kindness be your fabric

Let your quiet be your crown

Not the praise that fades by sundown

Not the glitter of the town

Chorus

Modesty, oh modesty

Won't you wrap me like the morning

Modesty, oh modesty

Keep my feet on holy ground

Modesty, oh modesty

In a world that loves the shouting

Modesty

Help me wear the light without a sound

Verse 2

I saw David walk before me

Stripped of armor, full of grace

Didn't need the king's approval

Saw the glory in his face

There's a blessing in the hidden

There's a power in the still

When you bow beneath the heavens

Heaven bends to meet your will

Chorus

Modesty, oh modesty

Won't you wrap me like the morning

Modesty, oh modesty

Keep my feet on holy ground

Modesty, oh modesty

In a world that loves the shouting

Modesty

Help me wear the light without a sound

Bridge

Not about the ragged jeans

Not about the length of sleeves

It's about a heart that's low

Letting somebody else be seen

Somebody else be seen

Chorus

Modesty, oh modesty

Won't you wrap me like the morning

Modesty, oh modesty

Keep my feet on holy ground

Modesty, oh modesty

In a world that loves the shouting

Modesty

Help me wear the light without a sound

Outro

Wear the light

Wear the light

Without a sound

Mm

Without a sound
