Jesus the Perfect Example of Humility

Humility is not a given take
not being a natural trait
si hard to find one that's so
few reckon it's their state

It's an amazing thing to be humble
to feel you don't make up to much
consider yourself to be the last
not first even with a simple touch

The greatest example of this
was Jesus Christ God's son
He was so humble, so meek
on trial, bowed to God's will be done

It's been said a long time ago
when you think you're humble
then you're not, for those who think
they are, that's when they stumble

Jesus left the perfect example
to follow in His way
just follow Him across your day
humble steps will be a ramble
