prideful

I was listening to the radio when I got home from school today..I wasn't in the best of moods because of a lot of things that just really seemed discouraging. I'd stormed into my room after school and was just sitting on my bed...trying to find some sort of solution to it all. This song came on the radio that I honestly can't explain. I don't know where it came from and I've never heard it before. Regardless, it [God, really] inspired me. [and I wrote this...]

My thoughts, my desires
my opinions, my will
all to be dashed against stone
yet stand overzealously in the way of You
I fall on my knees
Lord humble me.

When you see me thre,
prideful and lifted up,
take me asaide, take me
take me, and point me to jesus.
Lift me up to Jesus.

When all I see in this mirror is me
when arrogance and the world overshadow
Lord, it's You I need to see
help me, humble me.

When you see me there
prideful and lifted up
take me aside, take me
take me, and point me to Jesus.
Lift me up to Jesus.

I'm swallowed in me, Lord
break me, free me
free me from ... me.
I will fall to my knees.

When I'm standing there
full of pride, full of conceit
take me aside, take me
take me and point me to You Jesus
surround me, humble me, hold me, Jesus.


help me overcome me.
