Because I am loved,
I am humble . . .
under my cares
I don’t crumble.
Because I am humble,
I am set free
from the devil
I am able to flee.
Because I am free,
I am forgiven
to holy living
I am driven.
Because I am forgiven,
I am saved
to the world’s ways
I’m no longer a slave.
Because I am saved,
I am strong
no more desire
I have to do wrong.
Because I was loved,
by Jesus first . . .
after righteousness
I hunger and thirst!
~~~~~~~~
Humble yourselves therefore under
the mighty hand of God, that he
may exalt you in due time:
But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you.
We love him,
because he first loved us.
