While surfing the web one morning I came across the following prayer but was not able to find the name of the author:  

“Make Me Humble, Lord,

Never let the world break in,

Fix a mighty gulf between:

Keep me humble and unknown,

prized and loved by God alone.”

Let the world their virtue boast,

Their works of righteousness;

I, a wretch undone and lost,

Am freely saved by grace;

Other tide I disclaim,

This, only this, is all my plea,

I the chief of sinners am,

But Jesus died for me.”

“O that now I might decrease!

O that all I am Might cease!

Let me into nothing fall!

Let my Lord be all in all”

Those of you who know me well will attest that humility is not my strongest suit.  If you feel the need to have your humility increased please feel free to sing this prayer with me. If anyone can tell me who wrote this beautiful piece I would love to give credit to the author.
