the quiet one
the overlooked one
the one not “qualified”
Take David in 1 Samuel 16:

He was just a shepherd boy, not an outwardly strong man.
Yet God knew his heart and faith.
He struck down Goliath with a stone, and the battle was the Lord’s
1 Samuel 17:47
CHORUS
The way God sees it, is not the way man sees it at all.
(Don’t you know) The Way God sees it, is not the way man sees it at all. No no.
He chooses the foolish, the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
1 Corinthians 1:27
VERSE 2
“What is highly valued among men is detestable in God’s sight.”
Luke 16:15
applause, position, recognition,
God is not impressed with any of it
For “The last will be first, and the first will be last.”
