Testimony

So proud and excited that I by myself

had reached such a lofty place

I took the last step towards my ultimate goal

but clumsily fell on my face



I opened my eyes only to find

I was back at the place I had begun

Helpless and broken I strained and cried out

Surely the enemy has won



But I felt His peace that passes understanding

Grace that is never ending

Love that overflows my soul



As I wallowed in self-pity

He came to sit with me there

His presence alone was so rich and so deep

It chased away all my despair



I said Lord please forgive me for my prideful heart

It sneaks in before I know

He said What prideful heart, He forgave and forgot

He said How I want you to know



Now daily I humble myself at His feet

I make His desire my will

For He has taken me higher than I have ever been

And He's taking me higher still
