Selfish Exaltation
Do not exalt yourself before the King
But seek sweet humble ground
Fall prostrate low before His throne
While His eternal love may be found...
And don't lift up your heart to selfish glory
Seeking the world's unholy gain
But lift up with your hands the Holy treasure
That your heart will find in praising His name
For many have turned from His Holy gift
Thinking their power will surely last
But before the strength of our Holy God
They did find themselves so powerless...
Do not lift up your selfish heart on high
Do not speak with an unbowing stiff neck
But beg for His sweet forgiveness
And a place in heaven that will always last

But lift up with your hands the Holy treasure
That your heart will find in praising His name
For many have turned from His Holy gift
