Humility Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The bartender said

"Son, you're looking half-dead

"You're better off make it a double"

But if I remember right

Last time I drank all night

I just woke up in the same trouble

So I finally prayed

"Lord, I'm all out of strength

"Can you give me something I need?"

And he gave me one strong shot of humility



[Verse 2]

I've been drinking too much

I've been acting real tough

I've been making a fool of myself

But there's no sin inside

That's half as bad as my pride

And the booze ain't been great for my health

So I finally prayed

"Lord, I know I have strayed

"But can you make a man out of me?"

And he gave me one strong shot of humility



[Chorus]

So now I don't fight him

I daily invite him

To give me a humble heart

And though I may falter

If I go to the altar

I won't have to go to the bar



[Verse 3]

So if you're like me

And always tryin' to be

In control all the time

It might get so far

But when you finally fall

You won't find salvation in wine

But have no fear

'Cause if the Lord can hear

A prideful sinner like me

Then he'll give you one strong shot

It only takes one, believe it or not

Yeah he gave me one strong shot of humility
