Lord help me to be listening.
I don’t want to be resisting.
Help me walk by faith
When I can’t see.
Do not my heart harden.
Help me seek your pardon.
Have mercy on me, Lord.
This is my plea.
If the dark clouds gather,
I’d be safe if we were together
May I abide in you
And you in me.
“Jesus spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Luke 18:9-14 NKJV
