Humility, as fragrant oil,will soften up the hardest "soil"

       Fragrant Oil

Humility, as fragrant oil,

Will soften up the hardest "soil".

Quietly it soothes and heals

And special loveliness reveals.

It's inner beauty suffers long

When hampered by pride's sin and wrong.

Humility will heave a sigh

But ne'er to pride will it draw nigh.

But then should pride begin to bow

Humility will softly plow

And loosen up the hardened soil

By pouring out it's healing oil.

"For thus saith the high and lofty

One that inhabiteth eternity,

whose name is Holy;

I dwell in the high and holy place,

with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit,

to revive the spirit of the humble,

and to revive the heart of the contrite ones."

                                                       Isaiah 57:15 KJV
