In the Vanity of Their Minds

in the vanity of their minds they think that they are in control
in the vanity of their minds they think they can define their destined roles
man should not lead to his own understanding
but should cleave to the knowledge and wisdom that Jesus is planting
for man has no idea what's coming in the next hour
and should concede to God's authority and acquiesce to His power

in the vanity of their minds man thinks he is living right
in the vanity of their minds to self-absorbed to see the true light
that The Lord God has given to show them The Way
to live with His grace and by His righteousness from day to day
in the vanity of their minds
