Humility Shown In It's Purest Form - Philippians 2: 3-8
The truest evidence of real humility
is displayed in Christ Jesus the God man
who followede His own scripture counsel
ambitious conceited self must life ban
Willfully giving others your full count
holding to self no good thing
put others interests before your own
true displaying godliness this do bring
This God like mind comes from Christ
receive in Christ Jesus only for you
to show your real uniting in God's son
been created in Him brand new
Though Jesus was God in human flesh
not holding His God like image so tight
made his reputation loose as a servant
giving birth in human form this His plight
This humility shown in it's purest form
by sacrificing self to death's final point
even to the agony of a crucifying cross
Christ in truest humility did God anoint
('Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.')
Philippians 2: 3-8(ESV)
