Sometimes I'm not so humble and I battle with my pride
And fail to hear that little voice, that comes from deep inside
I heard it just the other day, I heard You call my name
My schedule was so busy, but I listened just the same
You laid a burden on my heart, I kneeled and began to pray
I shared my thoughts quite hurriedly, then went on upon my way
The burden did not leave me, and again You called my name
I realized that I disobeyed and was humbled in my shame
You called me to the alter and I came running to bend my knees
Humbled in Your presence, with my pride now stripped from me
Father, I am here today, to answer now Your call
You did not have my attention, but now You have it all
I listened as I knelt there, waiting for Him to call my name
As I laid out all my burdens and relinquished all my pain
I was reminded of an old song, about the needless pain we bear
And how my pride had hindered, my time with God in prayer
