Humble Yourself

A Christian poem about fasting and humility

I learned in prayer and fasting

God's mercy everlasting

You only have to make the choice

to listen to the right voice

Don't act better than you are

but martyrdom deepens your scars

Only healthy confidence can take you far

Temptations must come to tempt

Guilt isn't worth a suicide attempt

because God is forgiving

Open your mouth for praise and sing

for self-punishment isn't your thing

but God has your fate under His wing

I learned in prayer and fasting

with joy and good will to serve my King

and appreciate my life, its blessings

In love there's no second-guessing

For the sake of God's plans you can't be messing

messing around with the Devil and sin
