Humble Yourself
Do not usurp the place of honor,
For it may be taken from you.
The Lord speaks of this in a parable
It’s a warning for me and for you.
Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord,
Do not hold your head up so high.
All of your talents a gift from the Lord.
You can fall in the blink of an eye.
He who exalts himself will be humbled.
He who humbles himself may be praised.
In your pride you might easily falter.
Leave room enough to be raised.
