"Though the Lord be high, yet hath He respect unto the lowly: but the proud He knoweth afar off" (Psalm 138:6). "Surely He scorneth the scorners: but He giveth grace unto the lowly. The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools" (Proverbs 3:34,35).
The Lord on high respects the lowly,
But He resists the proud.
Yet He will make the sinner holy,
If only He's allowed.
Yes, our Lord, though very high,
Still waits for our devotion.
Thus He lets the proud deny
Themselves their own promotion.
When time is gone and life is spent
The arrogant shall know:
The pride that made them not repent
Has brought them very low.
