He will make us head and not tail.

 He Will Make Us Head, Not Tail

He will make us head, not tail.

This is the promise of the covenant God,

Who lifts the humble from the dust and sod.

Not by our striving, not by our might,

But by His favor, shining bright.

The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. You will always be at the top, never at the bottom, if you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God. (Deuteronomy 28:13)

He lifts us from the back where shadows fall,

Where voices whisper we are nothing at all.

He brings us forward, into the light,

To stand as witnesses of His power and might.

Head, not tail—a position of honor and grace,

Not for our glory, but to reflect His face.

To lead with humility, to serve with love,

As those who draw strength from the Spirit above.

He makes us head in wisdom, walking in His ways,

In decisions guided by prayer and praise.

He makes us head in blessing, a channel of His care,

Overflowing with abundance, with others glad to share.

Head, not tail—in our families, in our work,

No longer bound by fear, no longer forced to shirk.

For the One who goes before us has conquered every foe,

And where He leads, we follow, and in His strength we go.

And you will be blessed above all peoples. (Deuteronomy 7:14)

So let us rise and walk in this identity,

Not grasping, not striving, but resting in the decree

Of the King who has spoken, whose Word cannot fail:

He has made us the head, and never the tail.

This is our portion.

This is our truth.

In Christ, we are lifted—

From the tail to the booth

Of honor and blessing, of purpose and light.

He has made us the head.

And that future is bright.

Amen.
