It must be lonely being the only
One who is right;
To the day I heard you say,
"You're a good night!"
Must be boring, to the point of snoring,
Winning each debate;
If you were a woman she'd be the one
For yourself to date.
Your own ego is your wall,
And each brick's a lie;
What will it take to make it fall;
Allow another by your side?
Your own ego is an ocean,
Each wave a dangerous swell;
Your own motive's your heart's motion;
Will you move to hell?
Are you so haughty for gifts so lofty,
As if they came from you?
Can't you see they come from Me;
Now give the Father His due.
I see your pride is a way to hide
From your greatest fear;
You being wrong's a scary song,
Sung in a spiteful jeer.
With an ache, I pray you break
Even if it hurts;
In your pain, you'll call the Name;
His love do not besmirch.

What a way to live, haughty, prideful, boastful, etc. Let your sin find you out..Numbers 32:23 I think this is a powerful write, with an underlying message that I hope people catch. At least that is what I see.

Thanks...
I wrote it about a particular person whom I see on a daily basis. For some reason they really grated my nerves.
Then the Lord showed me why: he reminded me of me. Ulp!
God bless...
