Poem: Some Trust in Chariots

Some trust in chariots –
In spite of God’s Word,
They trust their own strength
Instead of the Lord.
They cry to the world,
“Look at what I have done,”
Instead of just worshipping
God’s precious Son.
They count out their works
Or their numbers, and lo
They cry, “Look at me;
God has blessed my life so.”
Do you see what we do
When we tempt God that way?
“Hey world, look at me,”
Is what they hear us say.
Oh, child, what have we
To boast of or show,
That God has not given
That men might know?
How sad in His Spirit
When God yet doth see,
The plaudits of man
Where His Glory should be.
So trust not in chariots,
Nor horses, nor men,
Just point men to Jesus,
God’s ransom for sin.
His is the Kingdom
That’s the great story,
And His is the power
So His is the glory.
