Pride and Preeminence

"Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not" (3 John 9).

Shall we give preeminence
To our own selfish pride?
Purge us, Lord, from arrogance;
Let none of it abide!

Come, Lord, take Your rightful place
Within our hearts today.
Reign in us with truth and grace,
And melt our pride away.
