KEEP ME HUMBLE (a poem)

KEEP ME HUMBLE

(by Samuel Farrugia)

“…And all of you must clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, for ‘God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.’  Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time.”  First Letter of St. Peter 5.5b-6

It’s so easy to let your head swell

When on your triumphs and trophies your mind dwells

When the applause rings loud

And you’re in control of the crowd

When it’s you they admire

And more of your talent they desire

It’s so easy to forget the One

From whom your talents come

We must use them for His glory

…end of story

if I puff myself up, I’m gonna stumble

so Lord, please keep me humble
