Praise – in meekness!
Meekness may seem an unlikely quality to value. But as this poem conveys, humbly turning to God, infinite good, to impel what we say and do is actually a source of strength and progress.
“Man is the generic term for men and women.”
– Mary Baker Eddy, “The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany,” p. 239Lord, show me the meek man
the humble man
the true.
Show me the good man
with humility to You.At times we hear the noise, Lord,
the boasting, puffed-up sense
that says we all are gods –
yes, gods all on our own.But that is not the meek man
the honest man
the sure.
Truly, that is not man –
all spiritual and pure.So let us praise in meekness –
with gentle, loving heart –
let’s praise the incorruptible
and know we can’t depart!No higher way than Yours, Lord.
No greater good, than You.
In meekness we each come
with humility to You.Originally published in the June 11, 2018, issue of the Christian Science Sentinel.
