We stand the tallest when in prayer we kneel
For our backs become shaped to carry life's load
There to find strength to put both shoulders to the wheel
And push along upon the narrow long road
Like the high jumper who learns to bend his knees to leap
Lowly, we should pray, petition, and yield
Immersing ourselves in the Spirit as one meek
That our mortal mission might be more revealed
Humility is the catalyst for each kind of learning
Especially as the spirit warms our hearts and lights our minds
For as we have faith and towards good things we are turning
We become uplifted... as the hand of God only the seeker finds
