I’ve become an architect and have learned a few new tricks
That when constructing a new building it’s more than just brick on brick
There’s a plan and a specific design
Which to my knowledge are great and fine
Everything is so particular from fit to finish and all
For once this building is complete it will be open and welcome to all
I proceed to walk with great expectations to confirm that there’s no flaw
But I realize there are stairs cases without railings that could cause one to fall
The stairs lead to the top as if it was a race
While the vaulted ceilings reveal their height and lots empty of space
My intention was to make this building safe and built to code
Since the appearance shows that it’s a place where anyone can abode
I then realize that people don’t know that this building dead ends
I realize this is a building where there are no friends
For I know of the traps that wait
Which are hidden and can take over ones fate
Normally constructing building like this is something I wouldn’t dare
For the dangers that lurk does not make this fare
I tell myself my intentions were good
But then realize they were as rotten and hollow as dead wood
I then realize this building has become something too large to hide
For this building is a literal a representation of my pride
I break down in sobs because of the selfishness of my of heart
I now have the challenge to take this building apart.
For as quickly as it was constructed my building is now condemned to fail
For pride is something that will quickly drag my soul to hell
My heart cries out for help to overcome my weakness as I begin to stumble.
Is there a way for a man like me to become humble?
I then hear a voice whispering inside my ear
Which calmly begins to chase away my fear
I’ve forgotten how the evil one can take peace from my soul
And that through Christ my Lord I receive peace that mends and makes me whole
Oh please allow me to renew with a new commit
That perfect or not I will never give up or quit
For pride is something we can all overcome
As long as we accept Christ and always make him number one
