The cure for too much "me"

When Christ gains the ascendency,

self goes down to defeat,

at Jesus' feet,

where it deserves to be.

For this ugly customer

blocks the good we

otherwise might do.

So, don't go a day

without praying thus:

Dear Lord, let it be --

increasingly --

less of me,

and more of Thee.

Too much sermonizing,

do you think?

But this poem I have to do.

Saying any less,

would not to my God

be faithful, true.
