Altering the Ego

But a long time ago
Not that far away
A man with an ego
Complained all the day

He was quick to lecture
Always with a frown
Sometimes... with conjecture
To dismiss those around

But, there was one who stayed
Who knew the mood would pass
And for him always prayed
For she knew of his good past...

Is that not each of us?
In some way we are lacking
And are in need of trust
With someone for us backing

Is that not each of us?
From goodness we have come
And we've a friend named Jesus
Who gives up not on one
