If we were more humble, you
would lead us
in what is right, and teach
us your ways.
If we were more humble, we
would not seek
the glory of others, but the
glory of our Lord Jesus.
If we were more humble, we
would not despair
when we are unable to repair
what is fallen;
we would trust you to rebuild
the ruins,
if only we were more humble.
