Rick L. James: Listen

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

I began writing this song as I was leaving the gym that I work out at. Funny what goes through your head on a sweaty cold morning. I just was overwhelmed at the thought that God is mindful of us and has created us a little lower than the angels.

A Little Lower Than the Angels
Words and Music by Rick James


Who am I/ that you are mindful of me

When You know / I am as sinful as I seem?

I can’t wash / the blood off of my fingers

So You use / the blood to make me clean.


So I bow a little lower than the angels

But Somehow it doesn’t seem quite low enough

There You are seated on the throne exalted

I’m Amazed that I’m the one You love


Who are You / to give Your life on Calv’ry?

Who are we / that we would lead you there?

You A-rose / calling me to freedom.

I don’t know / why You would even care.


So I bow___________

And Somehow____________

There You are_______________

I’m amazed_____________
