Humility

Don't brag about your successes,
Don't put on false airs,
Jesus was a truly humble Man
When He lost his life to a nightmare.

God loved the world so much,
He gave His only begotten Son,
That when we truly believe
Great battles are won!

If we will listen to this message,
And believe with all our heart,
We, too, will win great battles,
And our fears will all depart.

Kneel in humble submission,
Invite Jesus to come in,
Confess all your sins to Him
And you can't help but win.

Praise His name with honor,
He is the Prince of Peace,
He takes our every problem,
And our joy will always increase.

Open your heart to the Savior,
Who gave His life for you,
He is the bright and morning star,
Humble, loving, and true.

He will bless all who listen,
All who humble themselves and pray,
Jesus is the only answer,
And He walks with us every day.

If
we then consider ourselves as the followers of the meek and lowly and
crucified Jesus, we should walk humbly before God and man all the days
of our life on earth.

Let
us all earnestly seek Him with a humble spirit, and to endeavour to be
humble in all their behaviour toward God and men. Yield yourself
heartily to His will and service. Avoid an aspiring, ambitious,
ostentatious, assuming, arrogant, scornful, stubborn, willful
levelling, self-justifying behaviour; and strive for more and more of
the humble spirit that Christ manifested while He was on earth.
Humility is a most essential and distinguishing trait.
