God's Honor Only

God's Honor Only

Savior, I am so prone
To seek honor from men,
I find myself trying it
Again and again.
Take away this need for approval
From creatures such as I!
When I yield myself—a sacrifice—
Make certain that I die.

Help me humbly bleed to death,
That Resurrection grace
Might create a Christ-likeness
—A smile upon Thy Face.
Whatever it takes, Dear Lord,
My soul for Thee to own—
Help me learn to seek the honor
That comes from Thee alone.
