Boasting in the Lord when no opportunity to Boast in Myself is available

If this page remains unchecked and these thoughts be unread
May the bitter root never be fed and my pride be declared dead.
Only to know you my Lord; only to know that you see -
May that be all the audience to satisfy me.

This prayer is my own. This thought I have sown.
That no praise to me should be on loan;
No thought of myself be born.
This I pray. This I've sworn.

Boasting in the Lord

If anything good or praiseworthy is said here
If anything worthwhile should reach the ear
Of a scholar or poet a preacher or teacher
May the mind who receives glory be the mind of my Lord
May the glory rest on His shoulders and this pen
Be His sword.
