I Seek Not For Power
O ye that love to stay higher
Above others like a tower,
Where lies Goliath with his power,
When David defeated power,
And cut every pride like a mower?
O ye that boast of thy power;
What good is in thy power?
I do not fear thy power,
For I seek not for power,
But to pull down power.
Behold, he that feasts on power,
Sucks power
Like a bird sucking the soul of a flower;
He never acknowledge God's power;
Sad mortality is the implication of his power.
Hath thou considered the extent of thy power?
O remember, the Almighty's power,
When thou shalt be condemned by his power,
And shrink in shame that same hour;
O remember, the limitation of thy power.
