"He that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted" (Matthew 23:11,12).
The one who would be truly great
Will hear the Savior's call
To walk with grace to demonstrate
A servant's heart to all.
This is the path to greatness trod
Our Lord would have us find.
So let the world count it odd;
The blind will lead the blind.
The world's books upon our shelves
Will not see this as wise,
Which tell us to exalt ourselves
In our own prideful eyes.
Let all but God's advice be halted,
For soon enough we'll see
The humble are by God exalted
For all eternity.
