There Is No Getting Around It...

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

Matt.5:5

Pass Me Not Oh Gentle Saviour

No matter who we are

However great or small

There is no getting around it;

Pride goes before the fall

No matter who we are

However rich or poor

There is no getting around it;

God's promises endure

No matter who we are

Humble or full of pride

There is no getting around it

God's laws and love abide
