A Blade of Grass

1. Our lives are like a blade of grass.  

The Bible tells us so.

We all are here today 
and gone tomorrow, we should know.

As we build ourselves and families up, 
with such prestige,

secretly, we beg God for His COURAGE, 
on our knees.

2. We all can be so insecure at times, 
when troubles come,

but then become puffed up with pride, 
as soon as they are gone.

How can we be so arrogant, 
when Jesus came to earth,

displaying, by His death humility's 
unfathomed WORTH.

3. He tells us, pride precedes a fall, 
but HONOR a reward

for those who seek to humbly bow, 
before their Sovereign Lord.

3. What will it take for us to see 
our insignificance,

in contrast to our Heavenly Father's 
great MAGNIFICENCE!
We've but to look at Mary, 

our Sweet Mother and our Queen,

who's virtues were enormous, 
though kept hidden and unseen.

Let Mary be a lesson for us all 
upon this earth,

4. So in humility, we will 
acknowledge its great worth.

We must remember always 
that HUMILITY is the key,

for it's the virtue that will help us 
win eternity!

"All people are like grass, 
and all their glory is like

the flowers of the field; 
the grass withers 
and the flowers fade.”

1 Peter 1:24
