Triumphant Against Self
Battling against selfishness and pride
my human nature succumbs to temptation zest
yielding vulnerably, impotent midst prayerlessness...
now, I surrender to the Saviour for victory
claiming His strength.
As triumphant* warrior toward reaching-out pursuits
conquering apathy midst haughtiness' dominion
my spirit finds succor in God’s omnipotence
anchored upon faith-propped might...
grateful for His grace.
Psalm 92:4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
