“I”

                                                      

‘I’, a singular letter so powerful to destroy

The mortal being who engages against the creator

Thinking’ I will be like my creator

So much he lost his place honour to destroy

I will overthrow the Creator and take charge

I will claim the Creator’s creatures and so control

I will rise above the Creator and so topple Him

I will rule with pride what I never created

A pride so subtly destroying the haughty

A pride so conspicuously debasing the righteous

A pride so dangerously uproots peace and breathes chaos

I will selfishly acquire what’s never mine

If you boast of your strength- I glory in the knowledge of my King

If you boast of your power- I glory in Divine grace and might

Rather than “I will”- why not “by God’s will”

God’s leading is sure-man’s pride a death trap

As for me- I can do all things through Christ

As for me- God’s will is supreme in all things

As for me-His grace is sufficient

A borrowed life I live from the creator-grace alone my unfading crown.
