Analysis of Be Humble
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Humble yourself unto the Lord,
Under the mighty hand of God;
For remaining in one accord,
As you give Him honor and laud.
Cast all of your anxieties,
Because He always cares for you;
Confessing your iniquities,
To God who is faithful and true.
Be watchful and sober-minded,
Vigilant against the charmer;
Satan consumes who is blinded,
And will penetrate your armor.
Be firm in your faith and resist,
Knowing the kinds of suffering;
The Lord show you risks that exist,
Enabled to offer buffering.
After you suffer a while,
Eternal glory will give grace;
Having a righteous lifestyle,
Restoring you through His embrace.
To Him be the dominion,
Through His glory everlasting;
Forever in perfect union,
Molded by God and His casting.
