The word that is to be written on our hearts stays only on the page. We've been much too focused on how we look performing on the stage. Our lips might sing great praises, but still our hearts are far from faith and faith indeed.
And the glory of the Lord has instead become delayed by vanity. So why do we sing for fame? And why do we live in vain? Instead of seeking to be holy under the power of His name. And why do we seek applause for such hypocrisy? Oh, the fire of God is kindled in our humility, humility indeed.
Oh, humility indeed. Our hearts get overwhelmed and excitement sets the pace, yet we don't run the race. And all that truly matters is do we serve the Lord when we leave this place.
