Bury Your Pride
The day had started out pretty much like all of the rest,
But along about noon I was put to the test.
Seems that the front that we all try to show,
Was suddenly ripped away and there was no where to go.
And I felt so ashamed being exposed was this the plan,
Not the person of grandeur, but simply a mortal man.
Such a humbling experience we all should face,
Being honest with yourself will put you miles ahead of most others in this race.
When you remove all the smoke and mirrors then you can truly see,
Lies are like anchors that hold on tight and won’t set you free.
Then you can make peace with yourself and live life the way it was intended to be,
No hidden agendas, all darkness dispelled, then God’s spirit can enter and take hold you’ll see.
I’m glad for this day that I dreaded for so long,
Is behind me now and I’m cleansed of all wrong.
A second chance at life I was born again,
Now it’s up to me to live it without worldly sin.
If you to are living a lie, as all have done, it’s not too late,
Accept Jesus into your heart, step out in faith, no need to wait.
