Pride Goes Before A Fall

It's the deadliest sin of all

Subtle serpent, she listened to your call


Do we think Potter, this clay knows best?

Broken sheep's legs it takes, Shepherd; You find us to reconstruct, to save

Until we are children of God, we know not how to obey


As long as I breathe, You knock, or did I harden my heart beyond repair?

Did I put myself high above and placed in my own king's chair?


Do we stop to pray or do we even know how or care?

In heaven every knee will bow and explain dear soul, why not do it now?

Weighing others sins against ours, instead of our eyes on You

Lord, call us to Your Word, humble us and Holy Spirit, a sin against You is that one which You shalt not
allow

Peter Sword

Lord, that you see the finished work of art in all of us

That you bring many of Your sons to Glory

Help me understand the rock of Peter within me

That You are the author and finisher of our story



So quick to react we are in action and in speech

A front runner Peter was he, beyond even the most beloved, John

His feet on top of water, blessed Jesus within reach


Water was more than his livelihood, isn't it that which we all fear?

Death, sickness, failure----all of these idols, which we happen to hold dear


Every day I walk with You, I am reminded of the sword, to be put back in its sheath, away.

For dear Peter had no idea, that in his future, he would hold the Kingdom of Heaven's Keys one day..........
