The Reign of Uzziah

At sixteen years old, Uzziah ascended,

King of Judah, with wisdom extended.

His heart was the greatest challenge to face,

Would Judah follow a new path of grace?

In the glow of youth, a fearless warrior,

He conquered strongholds, became a pioneer.

In the glory of power, his pride was unmasked,

He fell into the trap of arrogance, at last.

Uzziah, sovereign of strength and might,

A powerful army, ready to fight.

Advances and victories, strength from the Eternal,

Pride that blinds, corrupting the internal.

But in the fall of pride, humility rang clear,

The glory of victories will always be the Lord's sphere.

Military advances, spears and walls,

Uzziah grows stronger, conquering all.

Under the shield, enemies tremble and fall,

The Lord wins the war, and the walls crumble tall.

In the temple, the priests sounded the warning,

The admonition came with fervent yearning.

At the altar of incense, transgression was sown,

The wrath of the Lord, leprosy was shown.

Uzziah, sovereign of strength and might,

A powerful army, ready to fight.

Advances and victories, strength from the Eternal,

Pride that blinds, corrupting the internal.

But in the fall of pride, humility rang clear,

The glory of victories will always be the Lord's sphere.

Leprosy touched him, the hand of the Lord,

Uzziah humbled, his error implored.

In his fallen greatness, apathy would stay,

\"Pride is vain; God has always been my way.\"

In the temple, the priests sounded the warning,

The admonition came with fervent yearning.

At the altar of incense, transgression was sown,

(The wrath of the Lord, leprosy was shown.)

Uzziah, sovereign of strength and might,

A powerful army, ready to fight.

Advances and victories, strength from the Eternal,

Pride that blinds, corrupting the internal.

But in the fall of pride, humility rang clear,

The glory of victories will always be the Lord's sphere.

Uzziah, sovereign of strength and might,

A powerful army, ready to fight.

Advances and victories, strength from the Eternal,

Pride that blinds, corrupting the internal.

But in the fall of pride, humility rang clear,
