Humility 

 ~*~

(Send as an Inspirational Christian Lighthouse e-card!)

 

Humility: soft and gentle

Lowly, kind and meek

Exalting God and others

Never one’s own to seek

 

Humility: lovely and true 

“Grounded” and “of the earth”

Such defines “humilis”

Sweet ingredient for rebirth

  

Humility: cloak of saints

Beautiful robe of white

Humility comes before honor

Virtue precious in God’s sight

 

Humble may my heart be

Meek, gentle and kind

Filled with Your Holy Spirit

Fully transformed in mind

 

Humble may my words be

Lifting God and others

Glorifying my Father

Blessings sisters and brothers

 

Humble may my actions be

In them God’s work display

Letting go of myself

To fully embrace God’s Way

 

Wisdom comes with humility

Pride is followed by disgrace

Embrace the humility flower

Blooming of fragrant grace

 

Our Lord, our God, our Creator

Humble more than anyone is He

Sacrificing Himself as the Lamb

That free of sin we may be

 

Sweet Savior, Precious Master

King of kings, yet humble too

My heart is humbled by Your love

Lord, I long to be one with You

 

A humble heart make for me

Cleanse with humility pure

Cloak me in radiant meekness

All things for You may I endure

 

For I live no longer for myself

I give my everything, my all, to You

Lowly may my heart ever be

Ever faithful, ever gracious, ever true

 

For You, Lord Jesus Christ, are my All

You, my dearly Beloved, define my life

Pure and humble I then don myself

With Your Church, Your betrothed Wife

 

May I be then humble and gentle

May I be lowly, kind and meek

May I exalt God and others

Never my own to seek

 

I vow to be lovely and true

“Grounded” and “of the earth”

I vow to embrace “humilis”

Sweet ingredient for rebirth

 

And I rejoice to wear the cloak of saints

Humility: beautiful robe of white

I rejoice in the humble King of all

For I am precious in His sight
