“Who Are You?”
You be not who you say you are, but what your witness shows;
You be not what you say you are, but every eye still knows.
Your character not as you like to think, but as your friends do see;
Your honesty, what you say and do, not as you think it be.
Your claim to acts of faith and love, to walk the pathway straight;
Your boast of deeds to needy souls, and on your neighbors wait.
Now look upon your self and own, and tell what you may see:
Alas! Lord, I'm a sinner, who owes his all to thee.
There is no scroll of honors, no goodness I may boast;
But a wounded wretch whose happy, you've sent your Holy Ghost.
If there be any honor, to which I might have claim;
I am the fruit, of the Worthy Root, Who calls me by His Name!
