Pride

All I've ever accumulated was pride Everything I've accomplished was me by my side. I gave praise to me, my beauty, my knowledge and my skills, I sought out the praise from others, and boy was it a thrill. I challenge anyone who thought they were better than me, No one stepped up, as far as my eyes could see. For I only saw me, myself and I, I'd prospered quickly, I had multiplied. But then life fell hard on me, It's the kind of thing that brings you quickly to your knees. I stood with nothing, not even pride, I lower my head in shame, I closed my eyes. I said in a whisper because I felt so ashamed, "Please forgive me in Jesus' name."
