Meek Strength

Why is great God so meek before His creatures,
when He could easily make mincemeat of us?
Why are we made in image of His features,
except to prove again how He must love us?

We learn in school that meekness is not weakness,
how weak’s the Spirit hovering above us?
Somehow His love is mirrored in His meekness,
just as our meekness leads Him more to love us.

Our meekness shows we’re strong when we are humble,
a humble God shows He is worthy of us,
we can show humble meekness when we stumble,
to meekly take His cross He had to love us.

O Lord, to take Your meekness to such length,
Your meek humility must have much strength.
