Deeper Reflection

Selfish pride
expects;
Stunning grace
reflects.

Bitter thoughts
corrupts;
Holy Ghost
disrupts.

Striving more
just stains;
Steadfast love
remains.

Seeking wealth
distracts;
Seeking God
instructs.

Twisted lies
despairs;
Knowing truth
repairs.

Judging worth
compares;
Saviour's scars
declares.

Blaming shame
deflects;
Kindness breath
attracts.

Apathy
ignores;
Living hope
restores.

Anger's rage
accrues;
Mercy's claim
pursues.

Conceited heart
betrays us;
Contrite heart
gives praises.
