Lord, Take This Cup of Pride Away
The sin of Pride is mine, all mine, for I
believe that I possess humility
enough to know what I must then confess.
I sin against both Science and the Law
believing that because I hold in awe
their stated Principals I may address
their failures to apply them though it harm
their image, power, glory, strengthen arms
of ignorance, tradition, lawlessness.
But most of all Pride leads me to dissect
God’s motives as if my heart could reject
His ways with men and matchless holiness.
