My success at becoming humble! - par moi

I'm a pretty good Christian from my point of view;

I always ask you to bless what I plan to do.

I go to every Bible study, and to church twice on Sundays.

I find an outlet for my offerings in many different ways.

I do not smoke or drink - nor do I blaspheme,

I quote Scriptures faithfully; I'm on the winning team!

I often wash the communion cups and usher at the door

Surely, then, Lord Jesus, you cannot require more!?

What! You say I run ahead of you! That simply cannot be;

All my Christian works sound so good spiritually.

You say that I'm a hypocrite and that I'm proud inside.

But see how I have humbled myself - where can be the pride?

You say my prayers are empty, yet my prayers are full of your Word.

I practice them and people say I pray the best they've ever heard!

You say that I don't know you - but Lord, I went to Bible School;

It's important to be learned ... I don't want to look a fool.

Now, if I am really honest, there's one thing I have to say;

It's hard to be a Christian when there's other Christians in the way.

They seem to bring out the worst in me and shake my spiritual fruit - it's strange,

They cannot see their problems and don't see they need to change.

And I, their Christian brother, point out their faults to help them grow.

I even give them Scriptures, but they don't want to know.

You say that I don't love you - but how can that be true?

Maybe you don't understand, for I use your name in all I do.

Of course it's not my fault that spiritually I am so fine,

I'll just pray for the others that they'll catch up in time.

Why do I go to church? Lord! What a question to ask of me!

I go to be an example to those who aren't yet free.

I counsel, pray and prophesy and have videos and books,

But when I show the pastor what he must do, I just get funny looks.

Well, Lord, I must go now; I've informed you of my prayer

I thank you I'm not as other men - and I'll pray for those who aren't yet there!!!
