A Humble Ark

May I become an ark for you
     Where humble You can dwell,
As virtue in me You imbue,
     Our Lord, Emmanuel.

Let me not be consumed by pride
     For by it Satan fell;
It cannot live where You abide
     As You break Satan’s spell.

Humility will single make
     My heart as I serve You;
For dreams I have I will forsake
     As You make me anew.

Those gifts that I have tried to use
     For notoriety,
No longer will I them abuse
     As Your love reigns in me. 

For then I will discover how
Those gifts held in Your hand
Give glory to You when I bow,
     Spread joy throughout Your land.
