Don't Buy Pride

Pride is something that I never want! I pray all the time, that the Lord will do whatever it takes to make and keep me humble.

The last thing I want, is that monster called pride,
it's humility I desire, and who's welcome inside.
So when the doorbell rings, and pride's selling at my door,
I say, "No thanks mister, I've tried that product before."
When I put it on, it brings on shame,
it causes destruction, and it defames Gods name.
I'm ugly when it's on, and it smells of stench,
he says,"Your putting on too much, you only need a pinch."
I don't believe your deception, and there's something that I know,
that a little yeast, works through a whole batch of dough. (1 Corinthians 5:6)
I'd rather get humility, which gives God the glory,
than to put on pride, and to be like Satans story.
Satan bought pride, and then he fell, (Luke 10:18)
now he's missing out on heaven, and he's going to hell.
I don't want to be foolish, pride does nothing for me good,
I want things that bring honor, to my Lord as they should.
Your product is a deception, and I'm telling every friend,
that the pride that your selling, brings no honorable end.
I'm holding on to truth, and heeding Gods instruction,
that humility brings honor, and with pride comes destruction. (Proverbs 18:12)
So I'm asking you Lord, lest I be exalted above measure,
will you give me a thorn, that would give me some pressure.
It's humility I desire, and your exaltation that I seek,
and I know that your power, is made perfect when I'm weak.
I take pleasure in infirmities, for you never use it wrong,
for when I'm weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10)
It's you that I want, to be seen in my story,
and for you to be given, all of the glory. (Colossians 3:16-17 , John 17:20-26)
