OUR NATURAL STATE
Arrogance does reign
hoisting human nature’s gain ---
notwithstanding, we are led toward downfall pain.
Beyond towering pride
that offers us jubilant ride---
nevertheless, there awaits fatal stride.
Admitting weakness blight
we seek God’s help for righteous plight---
now, we walk along divine light.
Freed from selfishness-guile
we are braced to walk along kindness’ mile---
negating heart that projects fake smile.
Exuding confident meekness so vibrant
our spirits glow, graciously radiant
nestled in sincere faith*, serenely triumphant.
*Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
