Analysis of Humbled Christian
Any encouragement in Christ,
Any affection and sympathy;
And comfort from love be enticed,
His Spirit giving empathy.
My joy being in the same mind,
And by being in one accord;
Having the same love to be kind,
Of everything as with the Lord.
Do nothing from selfish deceit,
Through vainglory that causes strife;
But let humility defeat,
For having humbleness in life.
Look not just at your own interest,
But at the interest of others;
Help to be able to invest,
Concerns of sisters and brothers.
Have this in mind be within you,
Which is yours also within Christ;
Take opportunity to construe,
The reason He was sacrificed.
