The Pride of Man
(Is. 2:17f.)
The pride of man will be humbled,
His loftiness will be abased;
Records of human glory erased.
Folks will find a hole to stick their heads,
Runnin’ crazy; won’t even make the beds!
When the Lord brings it all down,
There’ll be nothin’ but frowns.
Since they failed to behave
They’ll be runnin’ for the cave;
Gonna be real nasty condition;
Won’t find no relief in patriotism.
You got to turn before y’all burn.
The joy of His commands, you got to learn.
Don’t glory in your own biography;
Why the praise of others do you seek? (22)
Whether you land in the sea,
The ground or a chiffonier
Make sure that the one you hold dear.
When you walked around in this life
Was the Lord above your kids and even your wife?
