Oh, Pride, you go before I fall,
you show me meaning in failings,
you tell me of my darkest side,
you leave me bleeding and wailing.
Oh, humility, you tell me who I am,
you enlighten me with wisdom,
you hold me in my foolishness,
you sooth my wounds and heal them.
Oh, love, you show me why I live,
you carry me through trying days,
you wrap me in your perfect grace,
you transcend all imperfect ways.
Oh, hate, you linger in dark places,
you work at chinks in armor,
you pick and grind at sanity's door,
but you cannot match love's ardor.
Though darkest forces pry at me,
I will purposefully rise above,
this life is mine to live as I please;
I choose humility and love,
