Lord, always keep me humble
In all you have me do.
Help me not to stumble
But give the praise You’re due.
I’d rather wait till later
To reap my sure reward.
For You are always greater,
My everlasting Lord!
The good that people see
Is only found in You.
And all the flesh is me.
The honor I refuse.
When I think of who You are,
You’re always worth my praise,
That You would even go so far
As to use this jar of clay.
In all you have me do.
Help me not to stumble
But give the praise You’re due.
I’d rather wait till later
To reap my sure reward.
For You are always greater,
My everlasting Lord!
The good that people see
Is only found in You.
And all the flesh is me.
The honor I refuse.
When I think of who You are,
You’re always worth my praise,
That You would even go so far
As to use this jar of clay.

Author's note: The poems in this blog were written by my children, ages seven through fourteen. The "Why This Blog" post explains how the Lord inspired these poems in answer to a prayer during illness. Please also see America, Turn Back to God. I also recommend visiting my children's blog, A Brush with Life, where you will also find beautiful art they have drawn for the glory of God. You can access my complete blog directory at "Writing for the Master." Now I'd like to ask a very important question
Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?
“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.
Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
