When I think I’m right
Teach me humility
When I look for the applause of others
Teach me humility
When I think it’s down to me
Teach me humility
When I find my significance in what I do
Teach me humility
When I’m living by my own strength
Teach me humility
–
Teach me to listen to others before I speak
Teach me to hear the unconditional applause of heaven
Teach me to know it’s down to you
Teach me to draw attention to you, not to myself
Teach me to be secure in who I am, in you
–
Give me courage to serve anonymously
Courage to forgive
Courage to trust
Courage to disregard the opinions of others
Courage to be secure in who I am, with nothing to prove
Courage to live in the fullness of who I am
And yet have the courage to lay that down for others.
–
Truly without you I’m nothing
And yet in you I have everything.
