"Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue. For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God" (John 12:42,43).
Whose approval are we seeking:
That of men or God above?
Would we rather hear God speaking
Or the human praise we love?
Purge our hearts, Lord! Rid us of
A love to hear mere men applaud.
May we rather seek and love
The sole approval of our God.
