Down. Over all, a losing word.
Who wants to be feeling down?
To be considered down and out,
Brings pity, we're assured.
We can't be caught by our downfall,
Or have things go downhill.
We can't let people get us down,
Or otherwise feel small.
Up is what it's all about!
Up is the winning word!
I'm moving up! I'm upward bound!
Is what we want to shout.
But Jesus came, from Heaven, down,
To earth, to humanness.
He had no home, He had no wealth,
He wore a thorny crown.
He taught downward mobility,
He gave up everything.
He showed us all that moving up,
Starts with humility.
