Mask

As coveting's exchange, and grandeur's aim does follow course of some insane new coveting, while a boast proclaims its piety real, while cause not same. But teach me God to wear Thy name in honest truth, as only can - and humbleness will fill me then, a richer source, a truer yen. And in thee, firming like Amen holds prayer in constant faith's contend, I settle as to grace can mend, away from selfish apprehend. Bar hope from cursing's interchange, I tear away this mask's derange, as loving Thee confront acclaim while bidding truth, not masking, vain. In leadership with God, trust's claim!
