Humility and Pride
Collaboration by Gordon McConnell and Regina Riddle
Signs of humility is so very hard to find
so many pump up self think they're swell
but they forget God who constantly looks
for humble hearts, of themselves won't tell
Everywhere there are people caught in pride
Focusing on their own self-seeking desires
Never thinking of the ways to give tender care
Not reflecting on all the things that love requires
Look around everywhere to see signs
most love self, love others to beat
where's humility like Jesus would display?
Be last like Him washing others feet
Signs of pride in the heart is an easy discovery
Most of us seem to know about selfish conceit
We look around and see hearts living in defeat
Because they most often try hardest to compete
