Self-Pity Must Go

As I sat full of self-pity
And felt sorry for myself
There were people dying, hurting
And so many went to hell

"Do you see the world that’s hurting?
Without Christ many still die
Will you go on being self-centered?
Or allow Christ thought you live?"

As I sat full of self- pity
I reminded was of Love
Jesus came- gave up His life
And for self He did not live

I my life have to God given 
So self-pity: You Must Leave!
I refuse you! I renounce you!
You will not me rule in life!

I am crucified with Jesus!
I am His, Belong to Christ!
I have self denied, Christ followed
I my cross take- follow Him

Lord I need You, need You daily
Help me keep my eyes on Christ
On His suffering, His mercy
Help me be Christ-centered always

“And He said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me” Luke 9:23 KJV
