I find myself at the foot of the cross
down on my knees
with an ache in my heart
and tears on my cheeks
unworthy of all the I have been given
wondering what I can do to make myself more like You
The questions form so easily but answers don't come quickly
What? You can't mean me? Call someone else - seems to be my first response
a twinge of guilt is felt within my being
I know the words You said were meant for me alone
I'll start right now and learn this lesson right in front of me
humility - a word I really wish I never heard
But until I see the flaws I have
I can't grow in Your Word
Future lessons You will teach won't be so hard to bear
if only I can stop right now and focus on lesson number one
"Take my pride and knock it down a notch or two and learn to become humble"
Lesson learned, at least for today
I'll live the life that You intended for me to live
I'll try to doing it humbly now but I won't always manage
So when I fail (as I know I will), Lord fill me with Your loving grace
and repeat this lesson for me.
