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, my flaws,
the cracks, my imperfections
only when I am conscious of
the distance
how far You are above me
Only then am I truly able
to receive Your blessing
Your grace pouring out on me
Then, only then, may I serve
You,
sharing Your message
Your light to the world.

Repenting of my sinful pride – v2
changing the spelling from “worshipped” to “worshiped”,
because Blogger and Twitter said “worshipped” is a
misspelling.
