Repenting of my sinful pride – v2

Here in this land of plenty
an illusion of power
that we are somehow worthy
focused upon our lives
making of ourselves idols
worshiping earthly treasure
Only when I submit
repenting of my sinful pride
aware of my clay
conscious of the distance
how far you are above me
Then, only then, may I serve you
sharing your message
your light to the world.

changing the spelling from “worshipped” to “worshiped”,
because Blogger and Twitter said “worshipped” is a misspelling.
