Pride vs Humility by Karen Eric Ponraj © 2009 Pride does puff up to the sky; Gloating fiercely, yet not so shy As a pompous peacock acting ostentatious; What a gaudy braggart, "Oh good gracious!" Pickled with conceit for seeking attention; Vaunting boldly towards keen ascension Her position always distinguished, to gain respect; Her nose is raised high to expose herself as pristine perfect! Eyes busy picking the scene, to pour contempt; To cause a strive is her joyful intent Parading her ego, to the highest bidder; Pressing for compliments to reign as leader Me, My, I are Pride's foremost love; But God deems those who want to be great; Must look at Christ, our Lord, instead ... He emptied himself of His heavenly glory; With humility, he walked as a lamb, meek and lowly He's outward appearance had no lofty majesty; Despised, rejected and hated of men, was his crowning beauty What rights did He claim? To defend His magnificent name? As king, he valiantly fought no man; For that was not in God's divine plan Was there a raging climb to deceitful fame? Or did the Son of God, had nothing from this world to gain? His praise came from the Father's loving hand; Did He not suffer and die for the sins of all man? To loose our life, is the way to the cross; No victory in our walk until pride is forever lost! |
