Becoming Smaller

I’ve been for years at war.
With no one except myself.
I still can’t open my heart’s door.
It feels I’ve been thrown upon a shelf.
Every year a little bit more, I’m dying.
Instead of fighting, I find myself crying.

If I can only steer my Self to Him
I have a better chance to win!
I’ll be stronger with His strength.
Making this journey’s length,
Seem far more shorter than it is.

Chorus:
Never bathe in your own glory.
Don’t believe your ego’s story.
Standing afar off becoming smaller;
The Lord increases, becoming taller.
Singing the strongest song, Head-long;
Singing with the depth of your Being.
“God, be merciful to me a sinner!”
In the Kingdom, you will become a winner!

His Light will abolish,
The shadows in my soul.
Running towards the goal.
Fighting the good fight.
Only in my weakness, I can channel His might.

It matters not the suffering I endure.
For the Lord deliveres me from this tour.
All who desire to live much higher,
In Christ I will suffer not the persecution,
Set upon me by the father of liars.

Chorus:
Never bathe in your own glory.
Don’t believe your ego’s story.
Standing afar off becoming smaller;
The Lord increases, becoming taller.
Singing the strongest song, Head-long;
Singing with the depth of your Being.
“God, be merciful to me a sinner!”
In the Kingdom, you will become a winner!

Evil men and impostors grow worse,
Deceiving and being deceived themselves, of course.
Giving them a wide berth.
I must continue in the things which I have earned; Being assured,
In knowing from whom I have learned.
Not of Paul, not of John, nor James.
Only from the only One Divine Son.
It’s no game.

Chorus:
Never bathe in your own glory.
Don’t believe your ego’s story.
Standing afar off becoming smaller;
The Lord increases, becoming taller.
Singing the strongest song, Head-long;
Singing with the depth of your Being.
“God, be merciful to me a sinner!”
In the Kingdom, you will become a winner!
