Pride Before Autumn

The first shall be last
The last shall be first
And those who are low
Will be lifted high
The first shall be last
The last shall be first
And those who are low
Will be lifted high

Pride in the summer leads to autumn's barren trees
Jehovah is the only one who grows and withers leaves
Don't forget the maker when everything is green
Because pride comes before the fall

Oh how we love wearing our crowns
But may we delight in laying them down
Oh how we love wearing our crowns
But may we delight in laying them down

Pride in the summer leads to autumn's barren trees
Jehovah is the only one who grows and withers leaves
Don't forget the maker when everything is green
Because pride comes before the fall

Caterpillars feast upon the leaves
And worms will still devour prideful kings
Humility and worship and abiding in the vine
Will keep your tree from failing
Will fill your leaves with life

Caterpillars feast upon the leaves
And worms will still devour prideful kings
Humility and worship and abiding in the vine
Will keep your tree from failing
Will fill your leaves with life

Pride in the summer leads to autumn's barren trees
Jehovah is the only one who grows and withers leaves
Don't forget the maker when everything is green
Because pride comes before the fall
Yes, pride comes before the fall
Oh, pride comes before the fall
