Ego
When I know my Ego self has ceased to be,
and when my heart and mind have been set free.
To wake and move forth throughout my day
and share the miracle, you have sent my way.
I take these miracles and spread them far,
as I travel by plane, train, boat or car.
And If I did not leave the house at all
someone who had needs would come, or call
The wonders of what you've shared with me
are not meant to be kept hidden selfishly.
I must joyously throw the Ego to the side
that I might see truth with a clearer eye.
For there are many out there just like me
who seek this same knowledge desperately.
So I ask to be busy about your work today
and with your help, keep the ego far away.
Lord Jesus, if you see me and find me lacking,
we will know the ego is busy attacking.
Touch me with your gentle love and hold me close,
for now I know, of the two, I need you most.
