The less I am

He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less (John 3:30; NLT). 

The less I am,
The more you help me, Lord:

You are my strength,
My shield against temptation.

The less I am,
The more I love you, Lord:

You are my Maker,
And my destination.

The dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it (Ecclesiastes 12:7; NIV).
