Which One Are You?

 

To the temple of God came one day

Two very different men, to pray

One stood tall in his self-righteousness

The other his sin did confess.

One arrogantly puffed up his chest

The other smote upon his breast

One looked up toward the heavenly skies

The other lifted not his eyes.

One thanked God for the bad he was not

The other God's forgiveness sought.

One would have heaven’s access denied

But the other left justified.

The pharisee trusted his good deed

The publican saw his own need

Search your heart and this question ask too,

Which one of these people are you?

 

Luke 18: 10-14
