Dethroning ‘I’

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

In your heart you feel a pull of pride,
a powerful pull of pride,
from way down deep inside.
In your heart you feel a pull of pride,
to please yourself, forget your God.

Some are taught the way they should behave,
they fairly well behave,
but don’t ask God to save.
Some are taught the way they should behave,
but still their hearts are full of pride.

God can change a proud and stubborn heart,
can make a humble heart,
a happy life to start.
God can change a proud and stubborn heart –
to pride it still can slip and slide!

tune of ‘In my heart there rings a melody’ (Scripture Union Choruses)
