In Humility

My heart is humbled by Your grace,
The mercies You’ve shown me.
I find myself lost, not in awe,
But in humility.
 
For I know I am unworthy
Of the mercies You show,
And yet You fill my days and nights
With more grace than I know.
 
I count the great gifts, but the small
I used to overlook.
That is, until I stopped to see,
And that’s all that it took.
 
You gave me food enough to eat,
And a place I can sleep.
You gave me reasons to get up,
And promises to keep.
 
You let me serve with joyful heart,
Those who needed me there,
And helped me recognize how much
Of Your love I can share.
 
You’ve shown me that just being still
Can bring me close to You,
And being still with someone else
Will help them grow close, too.
 
I see all the big blessings, Lord,
And those I thought small, too.
It turns out they’re more vast, by far;
Through them, I’m more like You.
 
Philippians 2:3
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
