KNOW ONESELF
Does anyone, even oneself, know the
inner sanctum of the soul,
What really deep down in me is it
that makes me whole?
When all the barriers are come down
am I nice to know,
Am I truly worthy of all the gifts
our God does freely bestow?
Am I ashamed of me, when I look deep
down within my heart,
Am I really fit for the kingdom, have I
ever tried to do my part
With the right attitude, doing God’s will
in servitude and humility,
Or do I serve to show the world and say,
“Look at good old me”?
Help me, Lord, know who I am so I may
improve and make amends,
Help me see my inner self, help me know
myself before my journey ends,
Let me be brave enough to break down
the prison walls of pride,
Learn, dear Lord, to open my soul to all
and in Thy love abide.
Never again to hide my true self from
others, myself and Thee,
Help me train myself of all pride stay
constantly free
As I serve and do Thy will in all modesty
and true humility,
Have in my heart a prayer, that through Thy
grace, I will live more worthily.
