Recall when Our Savior humbled himself
And showed his love and heart of forgiveness
By washing his disciple’s feet by hand
Who can turn away from all wealth,
And who can turn away from all power,
So that he could show his love to his people?
That is the love of Jesus Christ
That is the value of a humble heart
So take not the high spot in your affairs
Rather, take the low spot without fear
For this reflects your heart to God
And do not walk about in an overbearing way
Do not be pretentious or egotistical
But let yourself appear as less than others
The humble cannot possibly stand before God
For they consider themselves unworthy and incapable
Yet God is completely capable and always wins
