Humble

You were born into this world for me And for all who live that would believe You appeared among all your creation So from our sin you might set us free Never have you ever charged a penny For the living words which you would speak Even though you appeared in the flesh like us You never coveted wealth or sinful greed Your hands reached out to all you met As many hearts in this world you sought to lead You never tried to profit from the poor and widows But freely much in their hearts you would leave You never chose to have much materially Though everything In this world is yours But humbly you came and lived among us Enriching us with the grace you kept in store Many always claim in you they believe But from others they seek to take away They want to be another’s lord and master Leaving many destroyed spirits along the way I only want to be Christ like in my dealings For in my life there will never be another way I want them to see what its like to live humbly With your true spirit teaching them every day Remember me my LORD, each day as I rise While by your sweet spirit I am truly led Permit me to always be humble like you And never please forsake me my daily bread. For my time is very fleet in this world’s life And before by your grace I am called away I want to help share your light into this world So many might find life humbly following your way. Wendell A. Brown, June, 2012,
