Song begins at 2:43

This is a snippet of verse/lyric that came from some personal reflection this evening. I’m all too aware of how often my ego and my sanctification butt heads. I hate how much I hate feeling under appreciated. It bothers me what can bother me. I can get very irritated by my own egotism. It’s in these moments where a prayer along these lines often springs up…

Blessed are the humble
Blessed are the meek
Blessed are the servants
Who take the lower seat
Jesus be my treasure
Father fill my cup
So I can be made lower
And You be lifted up

God who dwelt among us
God who came to serve
God who came to pardon
And bear what I deserve
Strip away my idols
That never satisfy
Bread of life, renew me
And teach me how to die.

I have died with Christ
In Christ alone I’ll live
Loved by Him, I’ll love
Forgiven, I’ll forgive
God has vowed to keep me
From here to heaven’s shore
Faith will turn to perfect sight
And tears will be no more.
