Do not regard yourself as above,
for there are troubles in high places.
To the root of David – the root,
with your soul, be as one!
Carry out your deeds in secret
and turn a deaf ear to the praise,
for all that is proud is pierced
by the sword of the wretched villain.
Do not think of a crown
when the winds are blowing.
The tree breaks its branch,
calling for peace without God.
Remember that the eternal reward
does not come in this fleeting world,
but in it, we suffer for Jesus
and carry the cross with Grace.
Until your last breath, O man,
let the Lord be your root.
And in you shall forever stir
the Spirit of living waters.
(The Bird Within You)
