Boast in the Lord

Boast not in what you know,
But in Christ, who His love did show.
We may know a great many things,
But to Christ, we give our praise offerings.


Boast not in the strength of your arm,
Because in the end it can only do you harm.
We work to build up ourselves everyday,
And Jesus said that this is not the way.


Boast not in the money you've earned,
Because with this fire you could be burned.
Riches will only bring want,
And once gotten they will continually haunt.


Boast in the omniscient and almighty God,
The One who has constantly guided with His rod.
For knowing our God is better than all of these things,
And knowing Him, my praise to Him brings.


"Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches. But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord." (Jeremiah 9:23,24)
