A wise man? No; nor
A professional, but, bowing
To Him, I may find, "Christ
God's power and God's wisdom.
No angel: but a fallen creature
Lifted by Him. Perhaps
As I bow to the Lord, He
May make me His messenger.
A poor shepherd, failing
In skill of hand, integrity
Of heart, yet I can bow to
The chief Shepherd.
A sheep, wanderer
In byways - but ready
To hear the Master's voice:
Lord: thus I come to Thee.

Yes, humility is essential as we come to our Lord for guidance.
