Chris Tomlin - We Fall Down - We Cry Holy is The Lamb Lyrics

We Fall Down centers on reverence before Jesus, portraying worshipers laying crowns at his feet and responding to mercy and love with repeated cries of holiness. The image presents honor as surrender: earthly signs of achievement are set aside before Christ. Its refrain gives the song a simple congregational focus, naming the Lamb as holy without adding elaborate explanation. The closing lines move into a personal confession of love for Jesus, gratitude for redemption, and a desire for faithful devotion.

The crown imagery closely echoes Revelation 4:10–11, where elders place their crowns before the throne in worship. Calling Jesus the Lamb and repeating holy also recalls the heavenly praise depicted in Revelation 5:11–13. Together, these biblical images support the song’s movement from humility to adoration. Mercy, love, holiness, and redemption remain connected throughout, making the lyric suitable for prayerful worship and corporate singing.
