Failed Success

One tries to do good

They work hard to do the right thing

Owing nothing to themselves

But it is not enough

They want success for their deeds

And therein lies the problem


We all want to be successful

We all want a piece of the pie

We all want the praise of men


What is a man to do?

How does one war against his flesh?

Why does he want self-gain?


What is the solution?

To never think of your credit?

Not to take pride in your work?


"The Lord gives and the Lord takes away

Blessed be the name of the Lord"

This should be our mindset


Let us glorify the name of the Lord

Either by life or by death

Either by blessing or suffering

Because I know now what it takes to be successful

To sell your birthright for a morsel


The Lord is good to those who call upon Him

But success is not yours to take

For the system is corrupt

And many buy into its system


Help me Lord to give You praise
