Harmony, Humility and Helpfulness

There are times when I barely survive The moments of melancholy and pain Moments when I just have to cry out With fears that make me feel beaten Moments when I don’t know what to say There are only heartbroken tears flowing All I can do when I find myself feeling this way Is reach out to the all knowing Son of God When I listen for His instruction to find comfort In the knowledge that He is with me, there in my heart Carrying me through the very best and very worst A Savior so true that I never need to doubt I find that harmony becomes a true friend to me There are times when pride seems to say to me Lift up your head and take what you’ve won Believe in yourself for you have all you need There isn’t anything you can’t do if you agree That the truth can be found in your own mind Where knowledge has grown since you were young All I know to do when I sense this pride welling up Within my being, where there are so many sins, I ask God to help me to know just what to do To overcome this enemy of all He longs to do Inside of me, where His voice sings of truth Where honoring Him, is the answer to all I hope Living with humility, the good Shepherd’s gift to me There are times when I don’t feel so generous I only think of myself and what I need to feel better It is during those moments when I measure my success By the lies spoken by my enemy, the one who I despise And, with time, God takes me through the worst To delight me with a answer to all that I must yearn for The helpfulness that beckons me to give of myself. Through it all, the good, the bad, the best I find purpose in harmony, humility and helpfulness These three remind me that I am God’s child Someone who lives to be used by His hand To be a blessing to whoever I possibly can These three, harmony, humility and helpfulness Are gifts to me, sent from God’s Holy Spirit
