Repenting of my sinful pride

Here in this land of plenty
an illusion of power
that we are somehow worthy
focused upon our lives
making of ourselves idols
worshipping 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.
