S-Hertogenbosch wrote:"There were some who had confidence in themselves, thinking they had won acceptance with God, and despised the rest of the world; to them he addressed this other parable: Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, the other a publican. The Pharisee stood upright, and made this prayer in his heart, I thank thee, God, that I am not like the rest of men, who steal and cheat and commit adultery, or like this publican here; for myself, I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican stood far off; he would not even lift up his eyes towards heaven; he only beat his breast, and said, God, be merciful to me; I am a sinner. I tell you, this man went back home higher in God’s favour than the other; everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and the man who humbles himself shall be exalted." (Luke 18:9-14, Knox translation)

You think I'm full of hate but I'm not, you think I'm prideful but I'm not. I fight for my lord and in him I have pride I will defend his word no matter what anyone does to me no matter what anyone says, in my lord I have love and in my brothers I have love that's why I try to lead you away from Satan the deceiver.

I am nothing but dust, the lord gives me strength and the lord puts words into my mouth.
