Analysis of Pride

Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)



Sliding egos and
Untamed pride
Goes hand-in-hand

Share everything
With God, to detach
From the earth.

Don’t fall down
Like Satan with
Pride.

But, sing and dance
When you’re free
From sin.

The wide path
Is full of pride
And many may abide.

Take the skinny path
To avoid the wrath,
Which stings and does collide.

God sees our hearts
And He resists the proud.
Don’t have a useless shroud.
