It's Hard to be Humble

This weekend in Worship Services I make my debut on stage in the capacity of singer. Honestly, I am more than a bit worried about it. Here’s the thing… I am on stage regularly for announcements, preaching, even some dramatic stuff, but singing is definitely not my most noted gifting.

I enjoy singing and have been pretty involved in barbershops, choirs, ensembles, and solo singing over the years, but its just not my primary area of focus or giftedness. Plus, its a stretch. They chose me before hearing me. No audition. YIPES! So please be in prayer for my nerves and the audiences ears this weekend as I solo.

On the upside, the song is AWESOME. I’ll include the text a link at the bottom of the post, but here is the 411: “It’s Hard to be Humble” is a tongue-in-cheek 70′s country song from Mac Davis that sounds more like a cross between a bar song and a sea-shanty then a country song. I will get to dress in my cowboy getup and really ham it up a bit on stage. For that, I am excited.

Just pray that my nerves and voice don’t detract from the point of the song, especially since it’s pretty critical to the theme of the service.

Oh, and one more thing…. I’ll never live this song down, cause people probably already think I’m the least humble guy around. Let’s hope they don’t think that I wrote the thing!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble
when you’re perfect in every way.
I can’t wait to look in the mirror
cause I get better loking each day.
To know me is to love me
I must be a heck of a man.
Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble
but I’m doing the best that I can.
