Pride
Questions 5:44Song Description:
Although avoidable, pride is rarely recognized by the person guilty of the sin.
The Devil can “infect” individuals with pride and set them on a path of
self-destruction.

Lyrics:
There is something that can take
away the good we’ve done.
It may follow in the wake,
of triumphs that were won….triumphs that were won.
No one is immune to this,
though it is not disease.
It can be avoided by
endeavoring to please.
The one who gave us laws that speak
to flaws in humankind.
He had written those in stone,
their viewing to remind….viewing to remind.
But I digress, now listen.
You know of what I speak.
It is not humility.
It’s PRIDE that I critique.
Pride goes before destruction.
With arrogance you’ll fall.
Yes, the Proverb’s clear on this,
and we should heed its call.
It’s a fault that we’ve all felt
It’s hard to keep at bay.
Thus we must remind ourselves
to fight it every day….fight it every day.
Conquered it will never be,
but it can be controlled.
It is blunted when our minds
take in what we’ve been told….remember we’ve been told.
Pride goes before destruction.
With arrogance you’ll fall.
Yes, the Proverb’s clear on this,
and we should heed its call….oooh, we should heed its call.
Pride goes before destruction,
With arrogance you’ll fall.
Yes, the Proverb’s clear on this,
and we should heed its call….oooh, we should heed its call.
Pride leads to our destruction.
With arrogance we’ll fall.
God meant us to be humble,
so heed the Bible’s call….
Pride leads to our destruction.
If we’re humble we won’t fall.
