WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
Furthermore the same lord God of the armies of heaven has told you this; Go and say to Shebna the palace administrator; “And who do you think you are, building this beautiful sepulcher in the rock for yourself? For the lord who allowed to be clothed so gorgeously will hurl you away sending you into captivity O strongmen Isa.22:15-17Lb
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
Though you think the world is yours
Minus the breath you are a corpse
No matter your claims you are a mere dust
Good for nothing but compost manure.
Talking big and claiming the world
Does not make you eternal
Nebuchadnezzar of old was greater than you
But was turned to animal by the owner of life
De Lawrence of America claimed the same
Abacha of Nigeria follows the race
But when Almighty want to strike
All security and claims proved nonsense
Those cars, position or office are not you
Wears, food, money and house you boast about
Does not change you from a being moving corpse
One day you will be no more again
Who do you think you are?
With all your education you’re still a fool
Without knowledge of who you are
Mobile compost manure that plant will eat.
Who do you think you are?
Ordinary meat for birds of the air
Or food for fishes of the sea
Or walking manure to be added to the ground
Listen! You’ll be a-plus manure to the ground
Upon all the wisdom and degrees you have acquired
Upon all the awards and honors you received in life
Do you know you are still a big noise and fool?
Hear now God verdict for a past king,
‘Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is but a noise.
He has passed by the appointed time!'
Now what about you and your kingdom
You are Empty vessel more noise
Listen! Stop that noise and think of life
Are you the owner of the life you live?
If the owner comes for it will you say no?
So stop those claims, and think wisely
Fear the lord and return the God
For all your life the same Source comes
Live sympathetic to please the Source.
My prayer for you is not that you should die
But to live and settle your debt
With the invisible hand beyond your bribe
So that when you die you go to him.
Lord help me to know I am nothing without you
Those things I claim to have can’t save my soul
May I know without Christ and all he did for me?
I am nothing and worth nothing before the lord.
